My wife and I did something similar to this years ago and the culprit went to federal prison.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880151531222540856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35831845.post-50425338761039807402010-07-24T12:14:04.933+09:002010-07-24T12:14:04.933+09:00i attended berea college and they use harris conne...i attended berea college and they use harris connect to make their alumni directory. i recently found out i have to contact the alumni office at Berea College if i don't want my last known personal information to be pubished in the book. if alumni don't contact the college, their personal information will automatically be published. is this legal?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00418640951587585893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35831845.post-32281989913589047622010-01-22T07:18:53.852+09:002010-01-22T07:18:53.852+09:00I too have received numerous postcards soliciting ...I too have received numerous postcards soliciting me to call a number and give personal information about my address and employment. The mailers look very much like they are from my high school, and have a short letter exhorting me to update the school graduate directory and <i>the signatures of school staff members </i> ....With my 20 yr reunion in mind, I called and gave my info, then was subjected to a strong sales pitch to purchase a $100+ hardbound book, a $50+ softbound book, or $30 CD. I almost had to hang up to get the sales rep off the phone...When I realized I'd been had, a closer look at one of the postcards showed <b>Harris Connect, LLC </b>in small vertical print alongside the paper's edge. <b><i>Very crafty indeed!</i></b> Now I'm curious to see if they try and bill me too...ChuckBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357781431129704466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35831845.post-83608154372419876192010-01-22T07:11:16.403+09:002010-01-22T07:11:16.403+09:00This comment has been removed by the author.ChuckBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357781431129704466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35831845.post-63054659693635233372009-05-08T09:26:00.000+09:002009-05-08T09:26:00.000+09:00Harris Connect sent us repeated solicitations usin...Harris Connect sent us repeated solicitations using the name of the Principal of our high school, implying his approval and consent. When contacted, he had zero knowledge of this. Harrisconnect claimed it was technical error, and that they are a reputable company. I doubt that BU had anything to do with it.Todd Follansbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076991106357438597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35831845.post-11101676964334839532009-03-06T14:35:00.000+09:002009-03-06T14:35:00.000+09:00I have had the same experience with Harris Connect...I have had the same experience with Harris Connect, only I toss all correspondence from the in the trash. Today I received a past due bill, supposedly from a collection agency threatening to file for a $99.41 collection if I do not pay up immediately. I did not receive a book as you did, all I ever received was regular mail which I did not read. I cannot decide whether to continue to ignore their mail communication or reply. What do you suggest?JuieMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544345983791984894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35831845.post-25686570188778507762007-03-31T13:05:00.000+09:002007-03-31T13:05:00.000+09:00BU never stops trying to suck money out of you.
