This is a marketing scam. Sometimes I get a hang up when I answer this number, but twice now I have had a person on the other line claiming to work for the Amazon Affiliate Program. They will claim they got your number because you were referred to them through some web site they won’t identify.
They will try to convince you to pay them $250 to $500 to set up a web store through Amazon’s Affiliate program (something that you can do for free…) and then claim that you will get a free year of professional coaching to help you market your web store.
The “free coaching” calls are actually just more sales pitches, in which they will attempt to talk you into spending anywhere from $2000 to $8000 to join a program guaranteed to drive customers to your site by using what is basically ad ware/spy ware to hijack customers search results. Any attempt to take advantage of the “free marketing coaching” will just result in more sales pitches, appealing to your desire to make money fast and not use any real, ethical marketing methods, they just want you to pay for their marketing ad ware/spyware to drive customers to you.
If you ask them the name of their company they will avoid answering at all cost, but they will say they are a “partner of Amazon.”
