I have gotten 2 calls from a man who claims to be Fernando from John Thomas. He calls my number asking for one of my family members claiming "he has done business with them before." Both times I hung up, but he is super creepy and bizarre. I tried calling the number back and it just rings. I also googled his name along with John Thomas and I tried to contact him at John Thomas and it does not sound like he works there.
Beware, this guy is clearly a creep.
The number he used to call me with is: 212-227-3089.
We are an ad agency in the UK and have somehow been unlucky enough to end up on their sales databases (no idea how!).
They call about once a week, sometimes they leave the gap between a little longer in the hope we will forget we've already asked them to remove our number from their database at least 20 times now!! Very rude and abrupt, asking for the MD by first name pretending he's just been cut off, or just running into a meeting, or whatever story they feel like that day (what he doesn't realise....because they are so thick and don't even research the companies they are calling....is that this is a family business and the MD is my dad so I know for fact he is NOT interested and has not just had a conversation with this guy as my dad is currently sat at his desk in front of me....derrr!!)
Just received a call from Mark Morgan asking to speak to the MD, very rude, refused to remove our number from their database, and when I said you will not catch the MD on this number (as he comes and goes as he pleases, and generally just takes calls on his mobile these days) Mark replied "Yes, I will" and hung up. What a tw@t, total tw@t! And obviously too thick to understand the basic principles of building a successful client base....wonder how many people take up their "investment opportunities" as a result of these calls?
Anyway - this is the company responsible (as far as i can see....):

interesting info here - reviews from previous employees stating the real issues of working for such a company (sounds awful, I actually feel sorry for the people who have to do this job now, they've obviously been conned by John Thomas Financial senior management with a pipe dream of becoming a top broker)

I will continue to post on their fb and twitter so everyone can see exactly how they conduct their business and create sales leads....if someone from John Thomas Financial would like to come back to me with an explanation I would be very interested to see what they say (although I'm guessing they'll just pretend they are not associated with the callers)
hope they go bust in the next few months so I dont have to speak to any of their monkeys again!
He called today again, so rude.
Im glad I dont let him through to my boss, hes such a joke.
He acts like he knows my boss as well, and when I tell him Ill take a message he insists to speak with him, yeah right.
He sounds like such a ******bag.
Hangs up on me as well.
