These people call almost daily and ask for the owner by name. When I asked them to take us off their call list the foreign man responded with "I WILL NOT!" and hung up.
I would like to know the name of this business.
Got a call from this number and could hear the call center people in the background, so when he asked for me by name I hung up the phone and set it to remember that number as "CRAP". Since my landline is forwarded to my iPhone, I can set the number and ring tone to ignore the call in the future. The calls are from a computer robot dialer, so you will not get the same number depending on how they set it up. This does afford them some benefit to calling good people like us, but I will always know what a call center sounds like and will hang up without any trebidations. Best of luck to all who receive these calls and hopefully they will find the same fate as Jerry Sandusky.
It appears we all have had the same experience. A person, in my case a man, with a very thick accent asked to talk to the owner. I told him the owner does not take calls and he replies rather rudely, "Well I have to talk to the owner because this is a very urgent financial matter." I told him I was able to take care of that for him and he said, "Your business is qualified for a cash advance loan." I told him we weren't interested and hung up on him. How exactly is that an urgent matter? These people are scum.
I received several calls also saying we qualified for a pre approved loan however he wanted our merchant statement for credit card charges we bill to our customer. I called him on this scam and he hung up on me.
Called my business line with a very thick accent asked to talk to the owner. I told him "this is an order only line would you like to place an order?". Caught the guy off guard no response. Maybe that will end it.
