Caller ID only showed the phone number, no name. The guy asked for my boss by first name only. I told the guy, "He is unavailable, I can take a message and give it to him when he returns." The idiot kept asking, "but is he there in the office?" Said he needed to know before he meets my boss here at the office and then accused me of being rude. I told the idiot 6 times the very same thing. He finally got pissed off and hung up. I am extremely sick and tired of telemarketers!!!! They can take their attitudes and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
Call from a [***] named "Chris" from 415-366-5899 asking for the owner and saying there was a legal matter he had to discuss. He repeatedly demanded to know the owner's name. When I questioned him, he said he was with the Johnson Company. Was completely rude and ended up hanging up on me when I finally said that I was the owner. I called the number back and got "Josh" and he said that it was a matter of "collections." I said, "Collections FROM us or on our behalf?" He said, "On your behalf." When I said that we had zero accounts receivable, he agreed to remove our number from the call list. He was rude as well. And not that they could or would do anything about these creeps, but the FCC is closed. The predator telemarketers should be STOPPED! What a sad state of affairs for our country - telemarketers are out of control! What a waste of time! And I won't even go into the ridiculous amount of junk mail posted every day.
Just called back the 1-415-366-5899 to be removed from the call list. they didn't ask why or who i was. They repeated my phone number then said "whats the slowest person who owes you money so i will give you a price on what we charge to get the money". I told them i have no idea why you would call me when i don't owe anyone and no one owes me. he said have a nice day...I am sure they will call back. So annoying!
Received SEVERAL incoming calls from this number today. There is a significant delay between me answering the phone, and hearing several clicks. The last time this number came through, and I repeated announcing our business several times, I hung up, just as someone on the other end may have been responding...... Thanks for all the feedback on this number. I won't be answering it again.
After missing several calls from this number I called it back. I actually got through. The guy claimed to be a company who does on site collections on deliquent customer accounts, for a fee of course. Basically they'll harass your customers for money and make you look like a jerk, and you'll pay them to do it. It's a scam.
