said his name was jack nichols.. i did't take the call, but i think i'll call him back and tell him not to call and that he might want to google his name and number...
The ruse gets even better, we had a volunteer show up at our office today stating he was here to collect money pledged by (the Boss, they used the correct name) for the Dallas Sheriffs Fraternal Order of Police. We advised them that we have no record of the authorization to issue such a donation on (the Boss)'s behalf and that we would have to wait until we receive such authorization. The gentlemen then left and within 5 minutes Jim Cason calls from 214-638-0630 and advises me that he had talked with (the Boss) on Monday and that he told them he would be in meeting off and on during the week and that if he wasn't available he was to call me (using my name) and that I could issue the check. I advised him I do not have check signing authority so he would have to wait till I speak with (the Boss).
Just received one from 214-276-0434 asked for my husband/boss, told not here, then he hung up refusing to leave a message or name. Then I hit recall on the phone, called him back a few minutes later and asked who he was. He said he was Kerry Kirkpatrick for the Dallas Fraternal Order Sheriff's whatever. I told him we were a small business, did not do donations and would like to be removed from his list and furthermore, he was calling a residence as well. He apologized very nicely and said he would remove us from the list. Now, we shall see.....
It's me again. Couple hours after I post that, same guy calls, gives a totally different name asks again, but THIS TIME, he announces his name, where he is calling from and what it was about. I informed him that he had just called me hours ago and I had asked him to remove my home/business from his list. He apologized again and said he wouldn't bother me anymore.
