The Providence Granola Project Story
It all began after a late night, a few beers, and a couple of good friends
asking a question: what might help newly-arrived international refugees
start rebuilding their lives
in Providence? The answer: artisanal
granola, of course.
Let’s face it, granola is just about the perfect food—wholesome,
natural, mysterious, deep. And when it tastes this good, we figured why
shouldn’t it help a few people along the way?
When Amos House (our local homeless shelter and soup kitchen) offered us kitchen space,
we incorporated as The Providence Granola Project, LLC (in February,
2008) and began hiring refugees from places like Burundi, Myanmar,
Bhutan, and Iraq.
Our very first summer our granola won a "Best of Rhode
Island" award and some
of Rhode Island's premier restaurants started
putting us on their menu. Over the
last couple years our project has
progressed from an after-work hobby to a
company that ships granola
across the 50 states and is well on its way to
becoming Rhode Island's
premier granola maker.

The Day They Almost Stole 1-800-GRANOLA®
April 11, 2012
They almost stole 1-800-GRANOLA®. Nice try, you gutless wimps. But with absolute resolve, true grit, a Quitting Is NEVER An Option Attitude and help from a caring tech support rep we were able to thwart their nefarious intentions.
Who are 'they'? Who planned this diabolical scheme? We don't know 'yet' (although I have several hunches who 'they' are) but with the help of the security division of our phone carrier we will discover their identities. 'They' are so stupid they left behind a traceable calling card.
Here is what happened - Last week our phone resp org (Responsible Organization - the 'carrier' that handles phone operations for you, like Sprint, AT&T, Verizon and thousands of smaller companies) received a 'Disconnect Order' from, what appeared to be, our company. Yeah, right. But of course. Absolutely. Regardless how ridiculous this may sound, they did receive, what appeared to be and by whoever received it, a legitimate 'disconnect' order for our entire '800' account. I guess what these SFB's who sent it were hoping for is no one would take notice that it was a fraudulent request. Unfortunately, no one took a closer look, the order was processed and our account was disconnected.
What should have IMMEDIATELY raised a red flag is that there is a process an account goes through before disconnection. First, it is 'suspended'. Then, after a set amount of time (approx) 30-60 days, it is disconnected. Then, after more time passes the phone numbers associated with that account go back into the database of available phone numbers. The whole process generally takes from 2-3 months. In this instance it happened in one step.
Although this entire process never (never say never) happens overnight, from disconnect to return to the database of available numbers (plus there are several safeguards along the way), in this instance it did. Hmmm, I wonder why. All joking aside, this was a serious incident not to be taken lightly. Personal identity theft is on the rise. And now, these same criminals are targeting your business assets too.
When I finally got a live tech support person on the line (I am always polite and respectful to customer service/tech support reps, once you get them - and you should too - because they are you heroes. NEVER yell at them) we walked through the entire process to bring both of us onto the same page. Immediately, this tech rep smelled something fishy whereas earlier in the day I was left 'holding' for 45 minutes to speak with a customer service rep who simply dismissed me and said, "Yup, your service is disconnected" and without offering to help in any manner. However, this tech rep first asked me all the right ID questions. Once satisfied I was the account holder I was put put on hold while they checked things out. 10 minutes later they came on the line and said, "I'm putting everything back to normal. Can you hold for another 10 minutes?" Well, dah! Sure enough, 10 minutes later they came back and said, "Done". I called all our 800 numbers (we have quite a few) and ... they all rang on their prescribed lines. I offered flowers, gold, diamonds, tickets to Vegas, etc as a Thank You but was politely shrugged off like they do this all the time.
We have had our '800' account with this 'major' phone carrier for 21 years (with boxes of monthly phone bills to prove it going back to 1991). This 'major' phone carrier has become, in my opinion, a disgrace in the business world and a laughing stock when anyone tries to associate them with the words ... 'customer service' (the proverbial oxymoron). This 'major' carrier, I believe, invented the ... "let's add so many levels of voice prompts that no one gets through." Ok, why do we stay them? Simple. All phone companies are the same, the known idiots are better than the unknown idiots and to move our entire phone operation (we already looked into it numerous times) is more troublesome than their lack of customer service.
Luckily, all's well that ends well. However, due to a breakdown in the chain of operations with our phone carrier (like initially asking standard identify yourself questions) this whole unnecessary incident caused us a bit of aggravation and lost business.
But it also taught us a valuable lesson. That's why I am passing this story along to you. Be ever vigilant of your personal and business identity and assets. This is NOT the first, nor the last time, we will see miscreants like these.
