I posted in the past about how Zix sales person actually threatened me when I refused to tell them what I was doing instead when I told them I wasn't buying their product. I would never buy their product unless required to do so by upper management, and even then only after they were fully aware of my disposition.
So you actually know that you have a threat in your midst. Healthy fear should make you ban them. Did he threaten you physically?
They actually paid money to someone threatening you? That sounds like a huge HR nightmare.

Well we definitely got to the info that we needed, Zix is a scam that is using extortion to push their product. Avoid at all costs!

He worded things just right to imply he's report us to whomever because we weren't using a HIPAA compliant solution - again, I think it was nothing more than a scare tactic to get me to sign up... hell Dell did the same thing with my SonicWall renewal - you're firewall will be back to 1998 levels, etc, etc, etc.. I told her to shut the hell up she had no clue what she was talking about and I wasn't going to accept her attempted scare tactics... while she didn't hang up on me.. the call was over quickly after that.

Still, that's social engineering and a significant crime in the United States. That's a criminal act, and a security one at that. It's considered a form of hacking. For a "security vendor" to have done that... inexcusable. If they did that at the bank, that would have been an FBI call right there.
Clearly not a company you ever let in the door!

Hmm, I seem to have started a good topic here!
