They called my office, refused to leave a message, and told staff they were with "the bar association". Since I do not have an Illinois bar license, I was suspicious, but once I found out it was the ABA, I am now assuming it was a sales pitch to join this voluntary (and kinda expensive) organization. And why leave a voice mail when you know it will just be deleted?. . . . . .
It's the American Bar Association with a "special membership offer." I'm sure they obtained my secretary's direct number from the local or state bar association because those are the only two places that number is made public.
