Please understand that we made the decision to utilize email as our primary method of communication. We moved away from a call center environment to a customer service model that involves SCANBLOCK email communication. We do understand that some of our Members prefer telephone, and we do apologize if our decision is disappointing to you.
SCANBLOCK utilizes multiple databases to respond to most Member related issues. Our approach generally allows for a more efficient and effective response than might occur during a telephone call. We can research all pertinent details and offer you a comprehensive response, usually within a single message that will also provide you with a record of our written communication.
For some more complex issues, a team member may reach out via telephone to ensure that understanding is achieved. We would ask that you allow us the opportunity to review your concern thoroughly before making that decision. Please reply to this message with a brief description of your inquiry and we would be glad to address as appropriate. Thank you for understanding ... from the team at SCANBLOCK Card Inc.
