LSI - FL

I am aware of the problems LSI - PA is having. This phone number was on my caller ID (Cell number) area code 678 from FL. Anyone have the "scoop" on them ??
Thanks

Oops.....according to wilkipedia

678 is a telephone area code assigned to metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia and its suburbs and exurbs. This area code was first assigned to customers signing up for new telephone service on January 15, 1998.

Re: Oops.....according to wilkipedia

I've noticed with some cell phone services, the calling number area code does not match the state indicated. Ex. even though my cell phone's area code is 813 (Florida), when I'm in Maryland, the caller ID at home shows "Wireless caller - MD".

AHA!!! Thanks Paul thought I was "starting to see things" lol

Glad I missed their call because I couldn't find anything about them in Search. If I can't find any information about "Cell phone" users I start getting negative vibes. I'm sure you know that feeling.

Best regards

They owe me about $400... grumble grumble.
I do NOT accept anything from LSI anymore.

Sorry you had "THAT" experience. I didn't even call them back because of them calling from a "Cell Number" and couldn't find LSI/FL in the Search.
All my regulars know my Cell is always the best way to get me. Guess I'm getting a "Little" suspicious.

They're a fine company to work with. Any corporation as large as they are will have the occassional glitches in accounting or scheduling, but they'll work it out with you. They're one of the few companies I trust at this point. Very reputable.

You can no longer trust CallerID

I received a call from my friend in Hamilton, Ontario Canada the other day and my callerid was displaying a TAMPA FLORIDA 813 area code number on the display.

A calling card could be the reason.

Nope, NOT a calling card issue either ..

I thought of the same thing at the time it happened and he said he was calling from his home, land-line phone directly to my cellphone - like he usually does when he calls me.

It was just really weird that it happened.

Two of mine were from CA> Same company as I was told by Tim Prior of Vendor Management.
Good Luck getting paid. They will ask you to Fax your stuff. Then when you dont get Paid, they
will ask you Where you faxed it. Then they will tell you to fax it somewhere else but they wont tell
you what happened to the originals you already sent.. then, still nothing..
This has been going on since April I think..

To my knowlege the only issues they had was a huge lay off, that occured last Friday.. No payment issues as I know of. I have being doing signings for LSI for over 5 years and have always been paid. In fact I just received a check from them today.

LSI does not have a Florida branch. But there are several other Florida companies that use "LSI" as their name that have nothing to do with loan signings.
