This is very very unusual:
I telephoned a WINDOW INSTALLATION COMPANY who installed $50,000 worth of windows in my home a few years ago (a "Big Name Company"). I wanted to have one window replaced - and 2 screens.
The company said they did not have "my paperwork," and would have to call me back.
NEXT comes a telephone call from this number: 612-357-7576 out of MARTINDALE, TEXAS (I am in California).
The man says he is returning my inquiry about windows and screen replacement.
But he is not from the BIG NAME COMPANY I called.
He says my number was referred to him by his "Partners."
I asked who are they. He said: "Home Depot" "Lowes".
I said I never spoke with either of them.
I hang up.
I call back to the BIG NAME COMPANY and told the same person I spoke with earlier of the above.
She tells me that: "We never give out phone numbers to anyone."
I PLACE A SEPARATE CALL to the (512) number - this time using my Cell Phone from another State. The same man who telephoned me earlier answers. (he does not offer the name of the company; just "Hello")
I ask him about replacing windows and screens - that I was given "his" number as a referral.
The MAN asks me WHAT ARE THE LAST 4 DIGITS of the PHONE YOU ORIGINALLY USED in the REFERRAL.
I give him my OUT OF STATE number.
He says - No. You had to use a different number. I don't have any record of that number.
I respond saying that the phone I used originally is irrelevant. Can you assist me in my need?
HE RESPONDS: I can't help you unless you give me that 4 digit number from the phone you originally used.
HOW DID HE GET MY ORIGINAL PHONE NUMBER for him to CALL ME? Especially when the BIG NAME COMPANY says that they did not refer my number out.
