Just received a message asking if I do botanical or Chinese medicine (I'm a naturopath) from her. I received a similar call from some guy from rogers. He posed as a patient asking me if I did acupuncture and was interested in my services. I called him back and he then tried to sell me some rogers promotional thing and was very manipulative and I could not get off the phone without agreeing to him calling me the next day. Which I made sure not to answer.
Her calling me by my first name was a tip off as usually prospective clients are a lot more respectful. I hope I don't get any more of these calls.
I am a counsellor and this individual, from Rogers, first acted as if she was calling about marriage counseling and asked me a few questions about my services and then proceeded to start to describe some kind of marketing product they wanted to sell to me. It was very misleading and highly manipulative and I am on the Do Not Call Registry so I'm guessing it's not terribly legitimate or ethical. I have filed a complaint with the Canadian Do-Not-Call Registry.
Thank you for posting this, I just got the same call. She sounded too smooth in her speech to actually be calling me for marriage counselling. You have saved me a return call, thanks!
On Oct. 6 I got the same message inviting me to call about marriage clients interested in counselling. Found it suspicious because the area code is not recognized for my area. It's located in Ontario and I practice in BC.
