yep, got exact same call..I asked the woman 3x for her name and all 3x it was this is the Chamber of Commerce..She wante dme toverify address of business, I told her I had this same conversation with someone else and they should have it on file. (No, I didn't have conversation previously, that was a lie..LOL) She, then said she'd make a note of it and that was it.
I emailed the American Chamber of Commerce and they said that number is not affiliated with their organization. They will let people within their office know that people are using their company name.
Called and asked me to verify name of business and address. I did verify the address. She asked who owner was. I asked who she was and she said Chamber of Commerce. She asked again if she could get name of owner. I told her "no" and hung up.
There is nothing you can do to stop these calls so just have fun playing with them. One fun thing to do is to get them on the phone and then ask them to hold on for a second, put the phone down and see how long they will wait before hanging up. See how much of THEIR time you can waste.
I called the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and they said it is not one of their numbers, that it is a cell phone. It is not a prefix of a land line phone. They did not sanction anyone to make calls on their behalf so be careful not to give out information. I called the number and it says you can leave your number for a do not call, but it sounds homemade not professional.
got the same call multiple times, they never leave a message and when I answer they usually hang up or if they don't, they tell me they are from the C of C... ask the same questions as everyone else has said... we're a new business and have been receiving tons of calls from there and many other numbers asking for us to verify our business name and address... and who owns it... really getting sick of it.
