I made the mistake of answering this one - thinking that it was a subcontractor with a similar number.
Instead got a kid with "that accent" asking for the owner. It was the old credit card processing scam. We don't take credit cards in my line of work, just FYI. As long as I had him on the line I asked where he was. "Chicago" he stated. 201 is Northern New Jersey. I let that pass. I told him that I didn't believe that he was in Chicago or even the US for that matter. he insisted that he was. So I asked him what the name of the road is that runs along Lake Michigan (Lake Shore Drive) stating that anyone in Chicago will know this. He hung up.
got a call from young chinese or asian female. She said she was from merchant broker and could she speak to owner. i started screaming at her. she said oh oh oh. i could hear young chinese or asian male and other voices in background. btw, i like idea to ask them to hold.
