Uh, "investor..." You a little slow on the uptake? He wasn't asking for you to "turn your money over," he's looking to train folks in financial planning. I doubt he'd want to train you since you don't listen well.
Brian Blum left a message implying that a friend of mine referrred me to him for part or full time work. He sounded like he had read this 'message' hundreds of times, so I looked for him on the internet. He is apparently calling from an unlisted cell phone number.
If you are on the FCC's 'Do Not Call' list, you can complain about this caller at:
Brian called me, and there is no need for the hysterics above. He is simply looking for people open to exploring the field of financial planning. While recruiting may seem odd to some, it is a necessary way of expanding. Again, this may seem strange to some, but I can only say that my conversation with him was very direct and cordial.
Brian called me with a similar message. He's looking for people to enter the financial planning field. I think he's intentionally vague so he can have a conversation before someone just writes the idea off altogether. I am not interested but had no problems talking to him at all.
I also got the same exact call. It sounded very scripted so I thought I'd look it up first before calling him. Won't waste my time now that I know it's not a real position I applied for.
I talked to Brian today, and although these -are- real positions in the financial planning field, they will require training for most people. Considering the economy, I might talk further with him.
