Caller said they were "IPO Consultants" and were wanting to transfer you to a sales person IF you were interested in investing in "fast growing business opportunities". (Translated to English - are you ready to get RIPPED OFF?)
They are using this "survey" to get around the Do Not Call List.
I have been on the DNC List for years and that doesn't stop 'em or even slow them down.
The scam works like this... you get a call asking about a fund or stock you bought into. I am doing a lot in the market right now so I thought the call was legit.
The conversation gets around to other investments you might be interested in. Fast forward two days and you will start to get literlly 20 to 25 calls per day from various companies looking for investment speculators. The group I was pegged with wants to sell me oil wells, miracle drugs or movie scripts. This has been going on for two weeks with no end in sight.
Wow - talk about BOILER ROOM . . . . I don't care what they're selling, it's all hack!!
Stay away from whatever they're offering and be advised they have to clear you as an "accredited investor" - just say "no" to this and that may help get you off their boiler list.
Told this thick accent-hard to understand dude to adhere to DNC list and not to call again! Hope he understood English as I don't wish to be contacted by these fly-by-night scams. Until just recently, our phone company use to allow blocking of out of area numbers. With no name coming up on the Caller ID, you have to determine if it's a number to answer or not.
