Women: Hi this is ___ from business research. We have some information that needs to be sent out to your office regarding your upcoming move. When will that be taking place?
me: ...we're not moving.
her: and are you planning to open up another location?
me: ...no.
her: oh okay *click*
seriously? These people need better jobs. or lives for that matter.
Said she was with "The Business Connection" and asked if our company was planning on moving or relocating. I started to ask her if she'd put our number on their "do not call" list, and she hung up on me mid-sentence.
I don’t answer anymore unless I start receiving a legitimate message. (My answering machine does ask for a message to be left, but these scammers never leave a live one.) I never call back because tells them when you are home. Block the number. Get yourself a Panasonic phone system that blocks 250 numbers. A system with 3 handsets is about $100. Check Amazon.com for one. A nice feature is when these losers do call back; there is no ring to irritate you.
