Has anyone else had cold calls for ATM machine servicing? I've had a few over the months. I just say no but decided to speak to the last guy. He said he was from FCTI in Century City, Ca. A web search found the company but said the products were "Car wash brushes".
He wanted me to drive out to a machine that had stopped working and they would step me through the servicing procedure which involved swiping any credit or debit card through the machine. (Yeah, sure. I'll swipe my card in your unknown machine.) When I told him I didn't have a card he said I could pick the little cam lock and get inside to reconnect the modem or do other checking. I asked what they pay and he asked what I charge. (More internal laughing) He finally said they pay $40 an hour. I told him that was a little low for a 20 mile round trip drive and he said he'd ask his boss if they could get me more money. I kept asking him to send me more information on his company but he never responded to that request.
So, don't tell me not to do it as I already know that. My question is whether others have heard from FCTI or similar companies and if anyone has any more information on FCTI.
Thanks,
Ted
