Who called from 3125403000

Received three calls in as many business days. A nervous-sounding young woman claimed her name was "Megan Smith" and later "Megan Riley." Initially said she was with the "CLO Group." Refused to provide contact info claiming she was traveling or in meetings all day. The number has been linked to Marcus Evans, the Hospital Group of America and THG, International Publishing. Provided 312.540.3000, extension 6765 as her phone number.

Megan Riley tried me too saying she was with the Private Wealth Group, which was clearly a lie.  It was URGENT and she was in meetings all afternoon.  I copied her number from caller ID.  Megan, if you are reading this, believe you me that you are DEEP SIXED.  DO NOT CALL AGAIN.

I got a call from "Kisha" looking to speak with our company CEO about a "client referral."  She was very unwilling to give me any background or any information about why she was calling, why she needed to speak with our CEO or why our CEO would care to speak with her.  It was very odd and I told her that there was no way that our CEO would call anyone back without knowing who they are or why they would call.  I looked up the phone number and it goes to Marcus Evans out of the Chicago area.  If that was an attempt at a sales call it was one of the weakest tries I've ever heard.

I looked up Marcus Evans on the web, found General Manager contact info.  This person's name is Theron Burraway and his e-mail address is [email protected].  If anyone gets a call from this company you should immediately be aware of their tactics and ask them to stop calling your organization.

NOTE:  Marcus Evans trains and allows their telemarketers to be as rude as humanly possible to receptionists, admins, and other such gatekeepers.  They are encouraged to use fake names, false company information, and a variety of other fabrications just to get a CEO on the phone.  If you're rude to them, they will call back 5 times a day just to harass you.  The only way to get on their 'DO NOT CALL' list is to threaten reporting them to the authorities.  It sounds stupid, but it's such a shady and illegitimate company that they will do everything possible to keep the authorities at bay.  Hope this helps.
