Brian's Scott's office or some sort or Scott's office. Callers always ask for owner. They have been calling for years. The phone number is for Amity, OR. They do not follow the telemarketing guidelines to take someone off their lists if it's requested. They also use a muted recording device as tested by my fax machine. An extremely unlawful group of people with terrible manners consistently call without regard of ethical standards. What kind of lowlife do you have to be to wake up and go to work to do this all day long?
When they ask for the owner, I simply retort that I need their name to see if they are on the owners' list to take their call. If they are, then they are to be connected right away immediately to the owner. They ALWAYS hang up and rarely call back.Or, I just tell them I will put them through immediately but I need their phone number in case we get cut off and the owner can call them back.
A Brian Johnson called our office and asked to speak to the "Owner of the Comapny." The receptionist said that he is on another line and could he take a message. Brian Johnson said "no that he would call him back." I got the phone number off of Caller ID and called Brian Johnson back and told him to take our number off of his list and to "Google" his own phone number to look at the negative feedback that is posted. He said he would take our number off of the list and thanked me for the information I gave him about his phone number listed. Let's see if he actually does!
Got call today at 1:30pm and stated 'this is the last chance, since they have called previously with no response', let's hope so. They stated that it was our last chance to lower our credit card rates to just 6% and that we had to owe more than $3000.00 and have at least one card in good standing. Please, I am sure this is just a fishing scam to get my credit card information. Thanks for posting you experiences. It just reinforced my gut feeling that this was a scam.
He said that he knew the owner and didn't have his phone on him so could I please give him the number.
When i asked what the call was about he said that he was a building contractor and he wanted to buy some products from us. I told him that we don't give out that info and then he said that he was looking through his Rolodex and found the number . He then hung up on me. Classic Telemarketer trying to get info.
I called the number back as I have been getting so many lately that it made me mad. I asked how to be removed from the list and they told me there wasn't a list, that it was cold calling off the internet. So yes, this is how they figure out the boss' name, etc. and act like they are old pals. Still showing up as SMS, called already 3 times today and 3 times yesterday, which is illegal. Putting them on DNC will do nothing if they are googling companies and calling for the business owner.
