This is the new number being used by Coastal Aire Concepts, Inc. See postings under their old number for details about their scam at 360-373-2001.

The brief story is that they call and ask a few questions about "air quality". Then the call again to say you have won a prize and want to schedule an appointment to come to your house. Other reports say once they get to your house they try to sell you a vacuum cleaner at an inflated price.

They have not called me but I wanted you to know about this-- they posted an ad on Craig's List for marketing/sales help.  I called the number listed on the ad (it is below) and when they gave me their address, I looked them up in our local phone book and it is the same address, but with the 373-2001 number mentioned in your posting above.  When I searched the internet for their web site, up came this page!  Are these people really scammers?  If so I don't want anything to do with them and certainly am not going to waste my time interviewing with them.  Below is the ad on Craig's list they posted.  Please email me at djhornick@comcast.net if you have any comments.  Thank you!

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT WORK FOR THEM I DID I HAD NO CLUE WHAT WE WERE DOING AT FIRST THEN I REALIZED IT I HATED THAT JOB AND FELT EVEN WORSE ABOUT BOTHEING THE SENIOR CITIZENS THAT THEY TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF

I received a call from this number yesterday, and answered the brief questions (air quality in the area, any allergies in the home, if we use an air filter). She asked for my first name and I gave it, truly thinking it was just a routine survey. She also asked if she could call me back if I won a prize, and I agreed. I received a call back about noon today (a lady named Sheree) informing me I had won, and had a choice between a vacation (three days, two nights.. didn't specify where) or a BBQ grill. I chose the grill as I started realizing it was a scam. She informed me that they could be out at my house today, and we set up a time for 3. The guy, Ron, called me at about 2:30 and reaffirmed that we would BOTH be here, which really started to make me wonder. He shows up at 3:30, and as soon as my husband saw all the crap he was carrying he told him to leave.. that we weren't interested. My husband got stuck talking to him for quite awhile as the guy made his pitch, and also informed us that he didn't have the grill with him (and that makes perfect sense how....?).
If they had simply been up front and honest about their reasons for wanting to come out to my house it would have saved us all a lot of time wasted. Unless you are interested in ridiculously priced vacuums (way higher than Kirby), ignore the call, or somehow get them off the phone.

They called me to set up an appointment to come out and drop off a vacation. I didn't know what to thing so after I agreed to have them come out I decided to look up their company and I found this site two others. Some good and some bad to I decided to let them come out. They gave me a
little presentation on some air filters when they came out to drop off my vacation. Although I agree you shouldn't call people call people after eight like some others wrote. I'm glad I had them out. My son has cat allergies and thier filters have helped alot. My daughter can have her cat and my son has no problems now.(Yes this means I bought one.) The vacation is only for the hotel not he travel so that is a bummer but over all not a bad experience
