This number called our business today at 1642 hours. The caller ID said "Benchcraft Comp" and it was not a local number so I let the recorder pick up the call. They did not leave a message. For the heck of it, I blocked my number and called them back. Some guy answered. When I asked why they called he said he didn't call, he only answers the phone. He asked where I was located. When I told him which state, he knew what area I'm in without being told. I didn't confirm it, however, only asked why he was asking that. He said it was because they were "working with" some golf courses in that area. I told him I was familiar with their scam, suggested what he could do with himself, and promptly disconnected. Thanks everyone for posting so I knew what to expect.
I was left a message on my voicemail asking me to return the phone call to this number. I called back and spoke to "Matt" telling him who I was and where I was calling from. He said "Never mind the position has been filled, thanks for your time". I laughed and said "I have no idea what you are talking about. Is this for a job or something?"...he stated it was not. I prodded further asking if it was for some work to be done and he said yes and said again said thank you for your time. "Matt" was extremely rude, unprofessional and in all aspects of humanity....A [***]! The call I received was unsolicited and unwanted but the least "Matt" could have done was been courteous and explained the intention of his call. BEWARE of rudeness and [***] from the numbers (781) 935-2501 or (781) 281-1726. The original call was made in pursuit of some type of work or sponsorship for Prince George Golf Course (Prince George, VA). If this is the best representation they can hire then I would recommend avoiding this golf course, also. By the way, I live just a short drive from this "golf course" and I can assure you that it is a dump. The club house is a double wide trailer and the course from the road looks like a cow pasture.
I appreciate the other postings. I had a solicitation on my phone, evidently to advertise at Royal Vista Golf Course (a real nice place). New clients generally come only from existing client referrals. I so appreciate this posting because Area Code 781 is in Boston, and I'm outside of Los Angeles. I love personal relationships, but this just wouldn't work.
They called, left me a message saying they work for Mink Meadows Golf Club. I called them back and they answered as Lens Crafters. I finally got the gentleman that called the first time Daniel, I told him I was not interested and he hung up abruptly. If I am going to advertise it will only be from a local company. This could be a scam!!
