Like everyone else, some guy called me claiming that we spoke a while back about home improvements. I asked him for his name and for the name of his company, he said Earl Freeman with "the home center of los angeles." I looked it up while we were on the phone and nothing came up.
I asked where his office was he said "off of Wilshire," and kept pressing me for what projects I needed done. I asked for where his address was specifically and he said he couldn't give it to me without a project. ??????
Then I said I doubted his credibility and he hung up.
