Caller ID said J2 Global Commu No message. First day of the month and my phone has rung all day with worthless clowns. Must be trying to get an early start on their monthly goals. Call away, if I don't recognize the number, or if it is unavailable, private number, etc, I don't answer!
On 09/11/2015, I got a call from 435-579-2022 at 5:04 p.m. The caller sounded like a white male. He asked for me, mispronounced my last name, and then asked again if I was me. He then said he found out some information on me and my business from some source list. He then began interrogating me about my business and how I do business. Specifically, he manipulated me into telling him that I do not accept credit cards by making threatening statements using the word "compliance" and insinuating that my business was non-compliant in relation to my credit card activity. He was SO annoying that I did state, "I don't even TAKE credit cards, so how could I be non-compliant?" That was the information he was looking for. Then, he honed his angle. He began asking me REPEATEDLY, THREE TIMES, "May I ask you WHY you do not accept credit cards?" in an accusatory tone, as if there is something WRONG with that. I told him I refused to answer his question, that I don't know who he his or where he's calling from or what his intentions are. He said, "I already told you my name is Les." I forget what company he said he was calling from (I didn't write it down). I angrily told him that he was deceiving me into thinking he was calling on some official business when in fact it was a sales call. He said, "This is NOT a sales call," and asked if the reason I don't take credit cards is because of the interest or the fee or whatever he said. At that point I said, "I don't who you are, but I don't have to answer your questions, so take me off your list," and I hung up. SO ANNOYING! There is no end to the type of ANGLES people will use to dupe people. For all I know, it could have been a SCAM!
Called our business demanding to speak to the "owner" when I asked for the company name, she refused to give that. I continued to ask her questions, she refused to answer - she said she was calling regarding our "swipers" and EMV notification. When I continued to ask questions, she told me she didn't need to argue with me. I was being very kind and polite. I called back to the number - 435-579-2022 and received a message stating it was "Ameribank"
