Pretty much the same as others have reported. This time he did not even attempt to sell me anything, ask for a PO or anything else. Next time ask for a picture of his wife!
Another bogus call from this number. His boss just made a deal with home Depot gift cards. The he abruptly hung up as i was saying I have never bought anything from his company.. did not try to sell me anything as i was probalby sounding not too interested.
Man asked for maintenance. I asked who was calling. He said, "(his name)". I asked what company he was from and he said from United Industrial. I asked do we normally deal with his company? He said that our maintenance guy had called him to ask the balance of an invoice they had sent. "And by the way, what was our maintenance guy's name?"
First, we do not deal with United Industrial, so we do not have any invoices with them. And second, our "maintenance guy" does not deal with paying the invoices and he would not have called and asked for the invoice amount.
The guy lied in order to get through. I put him on hold. He hung up.
Guy called from United Industrial and said name was Joe and kept saying he had free gift card multiple times and offerring his wife as well. Asked for a PO# after asking if we still use flourescent bulbs. I told him we do verbal PO when we know who we are talking to... He kept saying enjoy your gift card??????
