These people sell septic tank chemicals. They are particularly aggressive about calling their former customers over and over. They will continue calling even when told not to call anymore. Their salesmen even have the nerve to argue with you and claim they have the right to call you even if you tell them not to call anymore.

Others have interesting comments about them:

    • The only thing with this Company, new is....a new twist. A Septic Insurance Policy. So much per month. No I did not get it. They call too early and too much.
  • http://whocalled.us/lookup/8008343405
    • They call as early as 6am, or call multiple times in a week. Many people complaining about multiple repeated calls.
    • Tonight I have returned the favor by calling them repeatedly requesting them to remove my number. At one point, the lady I have repeatedly spoke with made it quite clear to me that she had already recieved my request and that I did not need to call back. I appologized for the inconvenience, and explained to her that it would take some time to process her request. She hung up on me..... I continue to call
    • Bob Haywood says:
      • I'm sick and tired of these creeps calling me all the time on my private cell phone number (which is on the do not call list). If you want to put these idiots out of business, then join me in bringing the heat to bear on them. Here's how. Go to the south Florida BBB web site where you'll find out that they have an F rating (http://www.bbbsoutheastflorida.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Business/CompanyReportExtensionPage.aspx?CompanyID=33000824&sm=). Then go to this website (http://www.fbkholdings.com/about.htm) where you can find out all about them, their history, their CEO (Gary Kranz), etc. Now, here's where it gets fun. Want to get a hold of Mr. Kreepo Kranz? Here's his number (listed on Google (561) 241-7154 3788 Coventry Ln, Boca Raton, FL 33496). I don't know if that's his home number or not, but that's what Google lists for now. Want to really get results? Report every call you get, including the name of the caller to the Federal Government's do not call violators website. (http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/donotcall/) The company can be fined for calling you if you are on the do not call list. All of this is good, but I believe the only way we'll get these creeps to really change is to bring national media embarrasement upon them. I'm asking ABC news to investigate their practices and to do a story on them. Help me get ABC interested by contacting them and telling them your horror story.

Calls received:

  • 5/16/2008 8:35am - Brandy - Manager: Glen

866-221-8574 - Answers as: Merchants Financial

  • Susan Mollardo - Very nasty. Claims to be a supervisor. I told her about my previous conversation with her asking them to not call me any moer. She claims she did her job to have them not call anymore. But here they are calling again, less than a month later.
    • Second call: Answering machine: FBK Selective - hours: 8am to 10pm
    • Probably located in Boca Raton

Called 1-800-880-7122 - Customer service manager: Eric Emp ID # 11121

  • Says he doesn't know who Susan Mollardo is. Says that phone number was the Boca Raton office.
  • "Let me explain the whole process of putting on do not call list
    • "within the 10,000 - 15,000 office leads, we have to find the lead"
      • "You will still get one more call guaranteed. Explain that you spoke with Eric, ask them to separate that lead."
    • Comment: The TCPA doesn't give them the right to continue calling, or to take weeks or months to get around to stopping calling. Given the fact that I've already been asking them for months to discontinue calling, it is ridiculous that they justify in their own minds the idea that they can go ahead and continue to call.

Repeated calls from them could be reported as harassing calls to Boca Raton police department
