IS THIS A SCAM

Thanks for the posts! I did not call. I received the post card and thought, hmmmm......I get packages left at my door, so why couldn't they? Plus it has a stamp...ummm.....even if they could not leave it, they would have left a note at my front door, not send a postcard in the mail! I yahoo'd DMC Services and saw all these posts. Return address is showing Florida. I'm in Henderson, NV.

I received this card also. The return phone # on the card is not the one listed at the beginning of this blog, but 866-209-2969.
I'm a sucker for free merchandise, and have received other items from the local "Welcome Wagon." When I called the number, they were trying to deliver a free bottle of Tide, and to receive the Tide they just needed to do a free test on the quality of my water and ask me a few questions. They also asked if I had a water softener. At that point I guessed what they were selling.  They asked me if I was the sole homeowner and wanted an appointment to take a free water sample from my kitchen sink and to speak with both homeowners together.  I didn't like this sneaky sales tactic and the thought of these creepy people coming into my house made me feel very uncomfortable. I may be close to 70 but I'm not stupid. Is this legal?

They erased his address. I'd like his address and phone number. I told them I wasn't in a new house. She wouldn't give up. Sooooooo, I kept babying and agitating her as I have been agitated. What the heck, I just retired.

I receilved a letter from DCM Serices today June 8, 2013 stating they had learned about my brother
passing away and wanted to know who had the authority to pay outstanding bills from his estate. They
requested a name, address and phone number or call them at 877-326-6768.   Letter not signed, just, Cordially, DCM Services, LLC.    My brother did recently pass away, however, he had no debts.
I think this is a new scam.  Beware. So happy I googled the company name. Saved me time.....Thanks.

I just got one of these yesterday. I work for a radio station so I decided to investigate. I called the number and they asked for the "Tracking Number" on the front, so I gave them the number. The representative then asked for my name and address to "verify the package info", I gave him a completely phone name and address and after putting me on hold for a minute or two, said "thank you sir, the info matches our records..." and then went into the spiel about how the "important package" has to be hand delivered, etc. I kept him on the phone for a while trying to press for specific information and got him pretty flustered. Here's my experience:

I just got the card and just moved in thanks for the heads-up I have "friends" who will look these people up and talk to them.Later

Fantastic work!

You're an a***ole.

You feel good coming on to a scam information site and calling people stupid?
That make you feel superior?

Good, cause it's all you got, muthafucka.

These companies are co owned and operated by Fred Faria, Patrick Esposito, Rick Singh and pat Ellis. The marketing portion is direct market concepts owned by Rick Singh and the company who completes the water test is owned by island services owned by the other 3 men and managed by RickSingh. They purchase mailer lists of new homeowners from a company called dataman group, list link specifically. These lists offer homeowners names, address, age, cost of home, county and phone number. What they do is wrong on so many levels and none of you know the half
Of the grime conducted by the 4 of these men. Good luck all!!! Oh and they contract the water softeners through the company Aquapro. Good luck!

I just bought a home too and JUST received the notice yesterday. I'll be shredding this promptly.

I just bought a home and received a postcard in the mail from DMC Services. I thought it was a scam immediately, since I have no package coming. This scam has been going on for such a long time. I worry about the elderly in my area, who are really trusting, and are likely to be taken in. There really ought to be a way of getting this type of predator to at least cease and desist.

I just bought a home as well and received the post card. I never called the number, I thought it was suspicious so I googled it and ended up here with all you fine people who have confirmed my suspicions. So tired of all the scams out there !!!

I'm the idiot who fell for the scam and let some man come into my house and check my water! He was unprofessional stinky and sweating!!! He seemed nervous. Kept insisting that we get our water filter right then for the best discount. He had no business card no phone number no website- NOTHING. Very scary. Called DMV services back and they have no info to give me either without me giving all my info once again.

Some of you people actually called the number on the card to find out about your "important package"?  Holy s***, you people are f****ng stupid.  This is exactly why this type of junk mail will never end.  There is an unlimited number of you f****ng morons that will fall for this obvious scam.

They find out when you are not home, and rob your house!

Add me to the list of People who got the postcard.  Thanks for letting me know its a scam.  Has this been reported to the FBI ?   It's interstate after all.

Same thing here.  Rec'd card in mail advising a delivery notice to call the 888 phone number.  Googled the number and found your postings.  Thanks it will save me the trouble of further investigation.  If the packaged can't be left then generally there's a notice from the POST OFFICE NOT THE SENDER :)

Be Blessed ya'll

thanks for info

awesome idea

Just received one of these things in the mail and it did not make any sense. Why would a company send a post card to someone to let them know they missed a package? seriously...

The mailed card has a ?presorted first class? stamp... Now that is hilarious!!!!!

Address listed is:

DMC Services
577 Deltona Blvd. #18
Deltona, FL 32725
888-959-3866

I am that guy and I am pretty nice if I do say so myself. Somebody has hacked/stolen my info and it has been reported and being investigated. I have no cable company. I was just as confused as everyone else when I started receiving these cards in the mail as well. Which is how I found this site in the first place. Imagine my surprise when I found out I was being named as the culprit.

dmc is short for direct marketing concepts. Its a phone room in Deltona,Florida. they do marketing for island services. they buy your information from companies,send you out the mailer under the false pretense of having a package for you. in all actuallity there is no package the bottle of tide is there way of getting the sales man into your home. who then will high pressure sell you a water softner system.

It's nice that this web site has people saying that this company is a scam, that way future receivers of this card know. But why isn't anyone shutting down this company? That would solve everyone's problems. A web page of complaints doesn't stop someone else from getting a card.

Me too. Its worth a stamp! I had the same feeling and did some research!

I called to find out what this was and it was advertising. A complimentary bottle of Tide! If I get another one of these notices, it's going directly into the garbage.

DMC Services is a sales person saying that want to deliver a product of your choice for a little of your time. Basicly they want to sell you a home product. They want to know when someone will be home so can go door to door knocking in your area. Don't respond back....don't answer calls or bother calling them just because they mailed you a post card. Fed Ex ,USPS or UPS will never mail you a tracking number or ask for your address.

Rec'd same post card, and since I love playing with these fools, I called the number.  Asked me for the tracking number, then my name.  Then asked for my address.  This is when I asked why?  Lady on the other end explained that she needed 3 pieces of information in order to "track the package" - tracking number, name, and address.  

I thought this to be illogical, so I asked how had they been attempting to deliver an important package to my home if they didn't have my name and address tied to that tracking number.  

Click - she hung up.  Counldn't answer that one could you sweetie??
