I'm surprised at Flurry Industries.

I don't know the owner/owners of Flurry but it would seem as if they are trying to trick people into buying their product instead of the products they were actually looking for. A person who is looking for the Cops911 site, after seeing some of their equipment, happens to forget to type in the "s" in cops911 and they end up at the Flurry site. My feeling on this situation is that a person that would seemingly use trickery to get someone to go to their site might be capable of using that same lack of ethics in their dealing with customers.

I've known Robert, the owner of Cops911 for about a year. I had seen some of their equipment on the guys from DBD and was very impressed with the quality and design. Rob came up to us and introduced himself at an EMR event and we found him to be a very likeable person who seemed to be a straight forward, honest guy. We put a link on our web site to simply support what we believed was a quality product made by a quality person. Note: It should be mentioned that Cops911 offered our a sponsorship about a month ago and we accepted it because of our feelings about both his products and him as a person. Sponsored or not, my feelings would be exactly the same.

It would be interesting to hear the reason, of those in charge of Flurry Industries, behind doing what they did. I'm shocked that a company that has chosen to support scenario ball by sponsoring events would seemingly mislead those same people it is supporting. Hopefully they will choose to shed some light on this. After that happens, it would obviously be up to people to decide for themselves whether they are bothered by these actions and wish to support them.

: I guess a new line needs to be added to: "Alls fair in love and war". Now we need to add "and business". Or so it would seem based on the new action taken by Flurry Ind.
: Flurry Ind. bought the domain:
: www.COP911.com
: If you type that in it takes you to the Flurry site.
: You need to type:
: www.COPS911.com
: to reach the COPS 911 company site.

: I wonder what idiot at Flurry decided on that tactic?
: I suppose that they might get some sales out of it, but that is a pretty
: slimey thing to do. I do not see how they could possibly justify a
: move like that. Cop911 instead of Cops911.
: As far as I'm concerned this will backfire by giving the Cops 911
: company a lot more publicity and Flurry a black eye with PB players.

: RTD

: Flurry, you have only one course open to you.. fess up, take the hit
: and apologize.
