Technology Service Corporation is Becoming My Enemy

When Being Civil Does Not Work

So there is this company called Technology Service Corporation that appears to be a contractor or sub-contractor for the Defense Department...

They apparently have braniac engineers working for them, but they must not be all that intelligent. What is my evidence for such a statement? For the past 6 months or so, we have been receiving calls on our home phone during the hours of 3:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m. from one of their computers or fax machines in Silver Spring, Maryland, attempting to send a fax. The first time it happened, no big deal right? I called the company and left a message with the receptionist that someone in their company had either programmed in a wrong fax number or was dialing it incorrectly. I politely requested that she follow-up on the situation for me and make sure that it was corrected. The problem persisted, so I called back to the company, each time somehow reaching a different person, and each time receiving assurance that the problem would be resolved. Ok, so, still no big deal right? Just order "selective call rejection" and program in the company's number. Eventually, they will realize that their faxes are not getting to the right place. Right? Wrong! It is now 6 months later. I thought by now I would be able to drop the Selective Call Rejection feature, but no such luck. These inept BOZOS are still trying to send a corporate fax to our home. What's my next step? Two things:

• I am going to attempt to receive the fax and find out where it is supposed to be going. Next, I will call TSC one more time and tell them that I have received some important information from their company that was not intended for me and that I have tried many times asking them correct the situation. However, since they do not seem concerned with correcting their error, then the information that I am hoping to intercept must not be very important to them.
• I am going to begin billing the company for the cost of the Selective Call Rejection feature so that they have to waste time and expense to have someone print out a check and send it to me. That alone will cost them more than what they will be sending to me.

It is no wonder that our government is trillions of dollars in debt. Companies like Technology Service Corporation are sitting on their fat profits (from you and me), not interested in hearing a word we say. If this is how they run the rest of their business, I am certain that we are not getting our money's worth from them.

Prince George's County Police "Did Nothing Wrong?"

This story causes incredible anger and frustration within me, and I am not one of the people who have been wronged by this incident. I have only heard and read the story. What happened? You can read the story here and here, but following is a brief passage from the story describing the incident.

"Mayor Cheye Calvo got home from work, saw a package addressed to his wife on the front porch and brought it inside, putting it on a table. Suddenly, police with guns drawn kicked in the door and stormed in, shooting to death the couple's two dogs and seizing the unopened package. In it were 32 pounds of marijuana. But the drugs evidently didn't belong to the couple.

Police say the couple appeared to be innocent victims of a scheme by two men to smuggle millions of dollars worth of marijuana by having it delivered to about a half-dozen unsuspecting recipients."

Apparently what had been happening in the community is that certain delivery company drivers (in this case a FedEx deliveryman) were being paid by drug dealers to make fake deliveries to the front porches of unsuspecting homeowners, where the packages would be taken before the homeowner arrived. In this case, the Mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland, Cheye Calvo, got home before the intended recipient of the drugs was able to pick them up, and he brought the package inside the house since it was addressed to his wife.

The Prince George's County Police Department, which had been investigating the dealer/deliveryman scheme, did not strike during the delivery of the drugs. They struck after Mayor Cheye brought the package inside the house. In front of the mayor's mother-in-law, who was in the kitchen cooking supper for the family, the Prince George's County Police kicked in the door and killed 2 family dogs. The actual perpetrators of the crime have been caught and charged. However, the Prince George's County Police say that they "did nothing wrong."

DID NOTHING WRONG... DID NOTHING WRONG!!!! They destroyed property, terrorized an innocent family, and killed their dogs. DID NOTHING WRONG!?!!!! HELLO!!! Has the entire world gone mad? How can this police department even begin to defend these actions? Police are out of control. They think that they can do anything to anyone without cause and then claim that they have done "nothing wrong." This is insanity. What the Prince George's County Police Department did was VERY WRONG, and some heads need to roll. The fact is that incidents like this one are happening all over the country. This one received attention because it happened to a mayor. It needs to stop here, and it needs to stop now. Police need to become accountable for their actions once again. You and I need to demand it.
