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.
This guy was a rude little twirp. He asked for the owner, which is me but I did not tell him. I told him they were out and asked with which company he was with, he made up some name "Franks" and I asked him what this was about and he said "are you the owner Maria" and then I hung up on him. Loser.
PRETENDED TO HAVE AN APPT BY PHONE SET UP WITH MY BOSS. I KNOW BETTER. I PULLED UP THIS INFO, AS I ALWAYS DO WHEN THE NUMBER IS NOT IDENTIFIED WITH A LEGITIMATE COMPANY NAME. I GOT BACK ON THE LINE AND TOLD THIS MAN MY BOSS WAS IN A CONFERENCE, WHICH HE WAS. HE CONTINUED THE TONE OF IT BEING IMPORTANT BUSINESS, SO I JUST TOLD HIM THAT SINCE I ALREADY HAD HIM PULLED UP ON THE INTERNET, LET'S JUST DON'T CALL BACK, AND THAT'LL BE JUST FINE. I HAVE DECIDED WHEN I PULL THESE NUMBERS UP, I AM JUST GOING TO START ASKING THEM WHICH PAGE OF COMMENTS THEY WANT ME TO START READING FROM.
He's called twice. Asks for owner by name. The first time was a few weeks ago. He said he was from the Johnson company. The second time, I totally recognized his voice and played along for a minute or so, just to screw with him. He told me there was a message for him to call my boss. He revealed he was with the Wyatt Group. Of course, I grilled him as to what the purpose of his call was for, etc. Since he reveals nothing, he gets nothing.
I called a company that had the Wyatt group as their client. Told them about it. I looked up others, but none were in California. Then I called the Johnson Company and told them that someone is using their name when they call in to places. It's not much, but it helps that they know there is a person using their name. I'm going to look up other companies, and instead of calling, use my anonymous email account and email the few other companies with this persons information.
Hmm, so I've posted about this guy on here before. Last month to be exact. He called again today asking for the Owner by first name. Since we have another employee with a similar sounding name I asked by first and last name. When I said the last name there was a pause and he was like "yes." (He didn't know who the F he was looking for...just a first name!) I told him the owner was offsite when he asked if he was there.
I asked what he was calling in regards to and he said that he "just needed to get a hold of the owner today". So I asked him again what he was calling about and then there was silence and he just hung up. Good luck buddy our owner is hardly ever here! Thinking next time I will say I am the owner just for kicks! Might as well mess with the Fother mucker! =)
Called today at 3:30pm on the dot. Asked to speak with the owner. I said he was not available. He asked if the owner was in today. I said yes, but he is not available, and asked who was calling. He said Justin, no company name, and said that he was supposed to call at 3:30pm, (and asked me what time it was) to speak with the owner regarding a pressing legal matter. I explained again that the owner is not available. He said "Tell him who it is, he'll want to take this call, I'll hold, thank you." I explained that I am not able to transfer calls, the owner would need to call him back. He said again, "Tell him who it is, he needs to speak to me" I told him again, I could not do that. He yells "NO! Don't transfer, just go get him!"
I replied, rudely "He is in Ontario, I am in Quebec. You'll be on hold a long time if you want me to go get him! The only way you can reach him is to call his cell phone number, or leave a message and I will have him call you right back if he actually needs to speak to you." He asked what the cell phone number was, and as the final nail in his coffin I answered "I'm not authorized to give that out to just anyone." He mumbled some profanities and hung up.
