Called asking for the old CEO who left over 10 years ago. He was "surprised" to hear that. Then asked for the new CEO. I asked what the call was about and he just told me he used to do business with the old CEO and he wanted to chat with the new one. There is no way I would transfer with that information so I sent him to a voicemail. He hung up before the call completed.
Similar to the other calls very forceful. Fortunately for me my co-workers next to me including my boss who he was asking for were talking way too loud near my desk so I could not hear "Tim" very well. When I said "sorry I couldn't hear that" he hung up.
Very annoying telemarketers these days. I assume he was a telemarketer.
ID'd self as a company that collects debts for other business. Wanted to handle our debt collection activities. Was a [***]. Would never hire this company or the [***] that called representing this company.
Gentleman called asked for my boss by name, when I asked him what it was regarding he kindly declined and politely said " I don't want to bother you with this, I will email him." and hung up.
As most of you, we get these calls 100 times a day it seems. Also got a call from the one calling himself "Justin" ; screened him, he said it was about "Collections" I said "Oh are you offering collection services?" and he wouldn't answer and then started grilling me with questions about the owner/manager with a pissy attitude(I of course didn't answer any of his probing questions) and so I simply said "Listen, I'm not putting your call through. You have a nasty tone and bad attitude, so I'm hanging up on you now." and I did.
Called asking for the owner of the company. He said, I have a note reminding me to call. I let him know the owner died over 2 years ago so his note must be old. I asked what this is about and he said a collection agency. He asked if he could speak to the new owner. When I told him this was now a corporation, he insisted on knowing the new company name. I told him look it up. He got indignant and hung up.
