They constantly call here, trying to get a hold of my boss. They are using different lawyers names and say they have a meeting with my boss and was told to call at this time, which is a lie. They will lie and lie so they are not trust worthy to do business with. Phone numbers so far are 212-697-5200 is the line they call from but what a return call at 347-897-6110
this number keeps calling our office - on the times I pick up, the sales rep is quite rude and abrasive. Recently I let the call go to VM - when I checked the message, it sounded like the sales rep was either watching a movie or some vide, all I could hear was swearing and abrasive language coming from what sounds like a movie or show.
This is an Investment/financial services company called Sands Brothers Ltd. with the following contact information:
Physical Address:

Phone: 212-697-5200
Fax: 212-697-1096
They are into all sorts of financial gimmicks to separate you from your money including high risk/reward investments, receivables/bad debt collections, venture capital financing and "bottom feeder" aquisitions. They have been sanctioned and paid monetary fines for regulatory violations of various Federal Laws such that Martin Sands had to step down as Co-chairman of the company board in 2004. Their phone solicitation tactics are often aggressive and border on harrassment so keep a log of the times & dates of calls and a transcript or tape of what is said during any calls from them that you take. The phone habits of some of their 200 sales/service associates could put money in your pocket from a properly prepared and factually supported law suit. If you do decide to invest with them, be very careful of what you are doing. Dealing with them is only for those who can afford to lose what they invest.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that among the several companies Sands Brothers Co., Ltd operate out of this one office in New York City is a branch of Laidlaw Company, Ltd. of England, which is one of the oldest, if not the oldest investment bank in the UK and America (established in Wales in 1862). The stock and bond investments offered through Laidlaw Company brokerage are for high net worth individuals and institutions and their sales reps could not care less about anyone else who answers the phone. They are after the deep pocket only and have no intention of wasting any time with anyone who is not cooperative in helping them find and/or get to talk to such individuals.

They are investment and financial manager heavyweights, and definitly not for us common folks. If you want Laidlaw sales reps to stop calling you, just be convincing about not having a dime to invest. If the call is about a debt or collection action, then it is one of the other companies that opperate out of Sands Brothers offices that is calling you. You never know who you're going to get so unless you have a ton of money to invest, why ever bother answering the phone calls from this number?
