I actually didn't get a call from this guy--we're a really small company so we have an automated menu instead of a receptionist--but he emailed my super generic 'communications@' address. The email showed up completely blank, so I copied/pasted into Word; below is what I saw.

Note: As a 20-something, I'm automatically suspicious of anyone who sends me something from 'business name [at] yahoo/gmail/hotmail/whatever [dot] com', and this was no exception. Wanted to add this to the thread so nobody buys this bull****!! Be smart & safe out there, folks.

Dear Public Relations/Marketing Department,
         I hope you are the correct person to contact
         I spoke with your receptionist and she said to contact your business.
         I work with an editor with News/View Magazine, Long Island Entertainer, Long Island Browser  and several other publications in the New York area.
        One of our editors wanted to assign one of our reporters to do a feature on your company and some of their products including:

*Phone Name*
   (does your business have any other large button phones for seniors, which might be able to be included in a feature article under $100?)

*Phone 2 Name*

      Would you be the correct person to contact to get additional information on your products and for an article?
      Thank you in advance for your time and we appreciate any assistance you could give us.

Sincerely Yours,

Edward Arm

Working in both media and PR, the moment he asked for free samples with no interest for press releases, media kits (didn't even know what a media kit was) was when the alarm went home. Very persistent in getting free products but could not prove his credentials and did make the effort to capitalize or use spell check. Beware scammers! Don't pick up or waste your time entertaining him.

I hate to admit that I fell for this; I arranged for my client to send a free battery for his "Cambry," which he claims he never received. Another person with the same phone number tried it again six months later, but we were on to them by that point.

I'm so glad that you posted this. After receiving multiple emails from Edward Arm and repeatedly asking him for more information on the publications that he represents (with no response) I finally blocked him.

FYI - He is now claiming to write for six publications:
"three print-News/View Magazine, Long Island Entertainer , New York Entertainment"
"three on line, Long Island Browser, Long Island Music Scene, Long Island Patch"

I hate to admit as well that he successfully scammed our charity.  He emailed to ask if he could send a reporter +1 to our fundraiser to report on the event.  We should have known something was amiss when he sent the same email 6 times.  He showed up to the event with a friend and proceeded to eat and drink for the evening.  They looked like complete dirt bags and seemed drunk upon their arrival.  Multiple people approached him and asked if he wanted to speak to the President of the charity and he declined.  He and his friend stumbled around the venue.  They finally left (not until dessert was served) as friends and family began to interrogate them.  Our charity supports pediatric cancer patients.  It is infuriating that these low lives took money away from our good work.  .
