My husband is due for a colonoscopy. A few weeks ago my husband got an unsolicited text from Colonguard saying a shit box is coming in the mail for him - have yet to see it. Text says partnered with our health insurance at no cost. Ok.

Then I recieve one. Funny - I'm not due or at least coverage for colonoscopy won't start be available to me for a few years... so we'll see. I reported the number as I never asked for one. Never talked to a doc about it.

Their PR weasel on BBB keeps copy pasting "We only send them if a doctor perscribes." - to which virtually all say how can they perscribe if we never interacted to get one?

PR weasel - "Well we can't go into details HIPPA!" and it doesn't get billed to insurance if you don't send it in.

So....the company..er is mass spamming the country with shit boxes which cost them money and postage and manhours on the gamble people will take the bait.

And here's the hook - link. if you take the Colonguard bait, subsequent actual reccomended Colonoscopies might not be seen as "preventative" and thus NOT COVERED.

I know this is a bit old. I just foundnout about this while paying off my Credit Card they allow certain charties to have 25% boost in reward points credit, and GLSEN's landing page now has an invalid security ticket which raises browsers alarms. So i went to research and Trump admin has effectively scared off Rainbow Crap-it-all-ism as the admin did during the 2008 financial crash.

That and every one is hurting now because of economic pressures so the first thing to go is usually charity and mutual aid donations as people tighten up their belts.
