Just installed Caller ID phone & service and answering machine. They were my first callers at 3:50 PM PDT, SO THE EQUIPMENT WORKS! I haven't recorded a personal message yet, and their response was just dead air.
201-499-7002 just called our business. Caller ID showed up as Weehawken NJ. After the tell-tale sign of it being a telemarketing call with the infamous "bloop" sound at the beginning, I spoke with a Miss Riya Saanvi Akshara Jhanvi Patel (not her real name of course, but it could be). It was extremely hard to understand her though, as she spoke with a very broken version of British English (strong Hindi mixed with a cockney accent). She claimed to be calling from a company called NOVA and asked to speak to the owner. When I inquired about the purpose of the call, she stated that it was in regards to our Merchant Services account. Informed her that we are a CASH ONLY business and we don't use or accept those "tools of the Devil" (Credit Cards). Her reaction to my response was priceless, as it obviously left her speechless for about 5 seconds before she began to stutter in almost perfect American English "Well, umm, but, OK I understand. Good day sir." and she hung up. Hilarious.
These people here harassing me with these call at all the time, I had to put them an "no answer" nick name, is this shi.. legal for them to do this???, I work long days, I have to deal with clients, set in traffic, on top of that I AM MARRIED with a pain, I don't have time for this, how can I stop it???
3/29/2016 These people call several times a day. The only way to get rid of them is to answer as a company and give them a
phony address, maybe then they will stop harassing you. Never say the word yes as they are recording and they are actually
out of the country. This is a spoof phone number. The ID caller says UNKNOWN NAME, this is a scam caller trying to get your
personal information. Phishing. Says someone will we calling at your location to show you how to save money and will also
give you a $500 gift card. Woman had thick accent.
These are Professional Scammers. Beware of these people.
