I keep receiving calls from 201-336-XXXX. This time, it was 1520, but I have not answered their calls and as soon as I see the 201 area code, I ignore it. I gambled on sports for about 2 weeks and have never lived down the phone number sharing issue of that industry...relentless! Also, I like to invest in stocks and that's what I thought this number was pertaining to. Anyway, I don't have student loans, so not sure why my number was mixed in potentially with other who have had trouble with the 201-336-XXXX numbers.
Called for someone in our office who died two years ago - was very aggressive that they speak to him and claimed that he was returning their phone call - name of the person was Mike
these guys are your run-of-the-mill high pressure stock brokers - cold calling people they get off of a list they bought. Use all the same lines and sales pitches. Unfortunately they are just sales guys who want you to buy (at introductory sales), sell, buy, sell, etc. Had lousy experience with them both in terms of what they could offer, but more importantly about them getting out of bad stock positions. I had an account with one guy there, and another guy down the hall called me and asked me to open an account. Pure slime that's watched "Boiler Room" a few too many times.
I would never use them. They really all read off the same pitch book and have no idea what they are talking about. If you say put me on your do no not call list it will stop.
