They called and asked for the business owner. I said I would take a meesage they said they couldnt leave one. After that the guy started to tell me about a new law in congress and they were just checking to see... I inturupted him and said "is this a sales call" He said "I am not going to lie..." I inturrupted and said , we are not interested and hung up. He called back and said "are you related to the owner? I said it was none of his business and we were not interested and hung up. He called back a third time. He started yelling over me . "i just want to make sure I am not talking to some disgruntled receptionist" I said "You call back 3 times, are you kidding me". I hung up again. that was it. It was listed as Redstone Payment.
Hmmm... if this is a telemarketer ~ how does the caller ID come up with her actual name? Mine was Emily Holman and that's what showed on my caller ID. Told her to take us off the call list, but she said she's have to talk to the person in charge of blah, blah, blah...
They get 1 warning; then we start reporting to the FCC as we've done with others who try to keep calling after they've been told.
Tony Paris called our office yesterday asking to speak to whoever handles our Merchant Accounts. I told him the doctor handles that kind of stuff but that he was with a patient and asked if I could take a message. He rudely said, "Well, there's really no message at this point." He then asked if there was a better time he could call. I told him to try back today around 1. **Meanwhile I googled the number and found all the other posts here**....He called today at 4pm asking for the Dr. by name this time. I asked who he was and what the call was about. He repeated his name and said he was calling about the doctor's merchant accounts. I put him on hold while I told the doctor about all the complaints I found yesterday on this site. The doctor asked me to tell him that he is not interested. I did and his reply was "I'm calling about an actual account, what is he not interested in?" I asked him with what company, and he said Redstone. I relayed this to the doctor, so this time he picked up the phone. As soon as he said hello, he expectedly received a pitch "You could be eligible for one of our merchant accounts!" The doctor then told him off for being sneaky and blatantly lying to me to get past me to the doctor....these people are ridiculous....and RUDE!
They called asking for me personally, so I said was somebody else & that I could take a message, they wouldn't leave one, but asked when I, the owner, would be back in. I said the boss keeps different hours & is in & out so it would be best to leave a message & he will call you back, but they refused, saying they would just try to call back later.
I've about had it with these kind of calls! I @ least have caller ID & if I see its a out of area #, since I mainly deal with locals as a local business, I usually just don't answer these kind of #'s I don't recognize. But alot of times I'll just p/u the phone & set it on the counter while I go about my usual business, W/I a minute they're usually not on the line anymore, so I hang up & they rarely call back more than once or twice.
