I received a cold call from one of their sales reps a few months back - he offered to send me a rather expensive toner cartridge - $90 -  for my laser printer.  He justified the cost by claiming that it lasted twice as long as regular cartridges, and offered a money-back guarantee if I was not satisfied.  I accepted, and paid for one cartridge. 
About a month later, I received another call from a rep letting me know that they were sending the 'other two cartridges I had agreed to buy.'  Since I'd never agreed to purchase more than one cartridge, I said as much to the rep, who seemed surprised but conceded that I was not under any obligation to buy more cartridges.
Now I am receiving calls every day from them - not only do they claim I agreed to buy two more, they are saying that I agreed to buy them at over $130 each!  I never agreed to buy more than one cartridge.  I would never have made a commitment to buy such a grossly overpriced product, let alone two.  For them to use these sneaky, underhanded sales tactics is poor business at best and a recipe for a lawsuit at worst.

They are generally called "Toner bandits" and have been known to do nice things like send toner cartriges full of ground rubber (really!!) and other incorect fillings that ruin your printer. If all they do is rip you for the money you got off easy!
