Yes total creeps. When they call asking to speak to the business owner, I say in my most delightful receptionist voice to please hold and I will put you right through. After placing the caller on hold, I disconnect their phone call. Whoops! .....I am in fact the business owner.
This number has called our business everyday for the last month. Every time we answer, they just hang up. I called the number for the 3rd (and hopefully the final) time back today and requested our number to be removed from their list. They have already said they will twice last week, got another call this morning.
Update: Person I spoke to today was named "John." When I first called back, he apologized and said our number would be removed. After hanging up, I decided to call back and request a manager. I got "John" again and he said our number was showing up as a completely different number, but will make sure our number is removed.
Update AGAIN! Have now received 2 additional calls from this number today. The last a-hole I talked to started asking me where HE is calling from. I told him I don't know, he's the one calling me. Then he asked how I know they've called every day for over a month. Told him CALLER ID shows the same damn number every single time. He got rude with me and kept saying "I can't believe this is happening." I'm not sure if there's a way to get these people to stop calling my place of business.
This idiot just called and asked for the owner. I told him he wasn't available and asked what it was in reference to. He said "yeah, I want to buy a gun so I can kill you." I said, excuse me? and he repeated "I want to buy a gun so I can kill you."
