Scum of the Year Candidate: Corporate Compliance Recorder

We recently incorporated JHTC (now formally Jewish High Tech Community Inc.) and have already received a number of pieces of business junk mail. Actually physical, paper mail. Today, though, we received one that really takes the cake.

And by cake I mean the people who run or work for this company should be forced to listen to a mix tape of Bjork, Barry Manilow and Mongolian throat singing played backwards at earblasting volume. Continuously. For two weeks.

Even the Better Business Bureau says that the company known as Corporate Compliance Recorder is a scam intended to trick businesses into paying $150 (the price is higher now) by making us think their notice comes from a government agency.

The thing looked hinky to me but never having been the president of a corporation before I was unsure. This is a great thing about the web, if other people have run into similar crap you can usually find them out.

I thought the return envelope they included was postage paid, so I could at least cost them 40 cents or whatever to send them a piece of my mind, but sure enough their was no postage on the envelope, damn it.

2009 is only two days old but these assclowns are already in the running for Scum of the Year.
