MEDICUS a little aggressive no?

[Ernest Jones]

Wow, was looking at a medicus website the other day and almost bought an e-book but changed my mind. So today (just now actually) my phone rings and its Medicus! "So we saw you were on our site looking at some products and we though we'd give you a call"

Very weird. Then when I told them I wasn't interested the lady got all huffy and HUNG UP!

BIZARRO.

How did they get your phone number?  Had you registered already before deciding not to buy?

Also a violation of the Do Not Call Registry laws if you're signed up.

There have been some other threads by people getting scammed by Medicus with hidden payments, etc.    It seems a shame that they went from being a company with some innovative training aids and a good reputation to a hyper aggressive telemarketer with questionable business practices.

Yeah, I think I may have filled out the form before cancelling. It's not so much that they contacted me, although it was a tad creepy, but rather the way she acted when I told them I wasn't interested. I mean, c'mon, you cold call me then act all offended when I don't run and get my credit card??

Medicus is two companies.

One is operated out of California.

One is operated out of Ohio.

The one out of California is responsible for a lot of the ads you see on Golf Channel.

If you have a complaint about them, I'm told: call them.
