Is Ho Calling Us Again With Recorded Messages?

In summary, a consultant received a call from Jean Jonas, possibly from Pampered Chef, with a 630 area code. They initially hung up, thinking it was a recorded message. However, it turned out to be a call about brochures for the March 50% rebate offer. Those who had recruited since July also received additional brochures. Some consultants received their second pack of brochures with incorrect information on the label. The caller ID displayed "PC" and some consultants had to redial to hear the message. Others found it cheesy but interesting. Many also received their second pack with strange last names.

I just had a call from HO - not the 888 number, this one displayed the 630 area code and the caller ID name was displayed as "Pampered Chef". I said hello @ 5 times then hung-up. As soon as I hung it up, I thought maybe they were calling us with recorded messages again and that I might should have hung on to see if it kicked-in. Anyone else get one of these? I don't have any shows on hold so it can't be that....hmmmm, now I'm curious.

do you think they were calling to congratulate me for submitting a show on a triple dip day? :rolleyes:
 
It was Jean Jonas calling people who recruited since July about the brochures for the March 50% rebate offer.

They sent more brochures to those who submitted 7 since July too.

Oh well, I got my brochures already maybe they will put the recording on CC too.
 
I was talking to my hubby and made him hang up so I could click over. ANNOYING!!

Did you hear the message? or was is silent? I know I held for @ 30 seconds before I hung up.
 
yes, I heard it. Just something about the brochures. Whoopie!
 
yes, I said Hello @5 times and finally Jean Jonas was there.

She congratulated everyone who received the brochures and also said anyone who recruited 7 or more since July got another pack of brochures. You want to hear something funny? I received my 2nd pack and had all my correct information on the label including my consultant number except my last name!! Weird!!
 
Mine rang once, and then quit ringing. I saw on the caller ID that it was PC, so I dialed back and got the message. Weird!
