Is Ho Calling Us Again With Recorded Messages?

Click For Summary
A caller identified as "Pampered Chef" from a 630 area code contacted several consultants, prompting curiosity about the nature of the call. Some individuals hung up after not receiving a response despite multiple greetings. It was later revealed that the call was from Jean Jonas, who was reaching out to congratulate consultants who had recruited since July and to inform them about brochures related to a March 50% rebate offer. Recipients of the brochures noted that those who had submitted seven shows since July received an additional pack. Some consultants experienced issues with their labels, containing incorrect last names. There was a shared sense of amusement and confusion regarding the calls and the brochure distribution process.

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.

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!
