My first prime candidate W.O.S Post, with endless thank yous to @OfclyGoodenough for the assist!
Earlier today, I received an email from a company I have NEVER heard of, of course - I received this through my scambaiting email so fuck knows where this lead originates from. Henceforth, I did not consent and as you know they don’t matter much as I don’t reside in the U.S.A at this time - advertising their garbage without my approval.

After I went to unsubscribe from them directly it sent me afterwards to this page: Latest entertainment news and reviews - At Home Daily
- A WhoIs lookup for aenbuy.com reveals it was registered by Rollup Digital, LLC through NameCheap on July 14, 2022.
- +1 (855) 212-9103 and +1 (866) 951-3704 are both an Invoca line with the same IVR Menu, where callers are asked to press 1 to be transferred to a local Budget Blinds location (requires ZIP code input), press 2 if you reside in Canada or Press 3 for “more options.”
- BudgetBlinds.com has a 2.1-star rating on SiteJabber, with users complaining about poor customer service and installing or failing to install cheap window blinds. However, not all negative reviews are considered reliable, as there were two fraudulent user complaints claiming the company was a front for the CIA, NSA and the FBI. The company also has a 1.8-star review and grade of A+ with the Better Business Bureau, who issued an alert for the company on April 29, 2017 as the coimpany is operating without a license from the Contractors State Licensing Board of California. BBB users have complained about being billed for products they never received in what appears to be a total bait-and-switch. Users on ScamPulse have also complained about receiving fraudulent emails regarding potential employment, which requires the recipient to send a fake check for deposit.
