Just recieved a call from this Ronnie Chbat guy. Same here, he asked for the owner. Asked about cash advance, and told him to hold, then he disconnected. Looked up the name and number and here are others that are getting this rude call. He better get caught for doing this. Stupid enough he has called ID.
Call my place of work wanting to give me a cash advance???? Kindly stated not interested yet she still tried after the 2nd politeness i stated not interested.
I received a call and they asked for the owner, I asked if I could help since the owner is not in. He told me he was with a cash advance company and asked if I handled the finances. I told him no, but that I could pass on his information to the owner, and he hung up on me in mid sentence. I called the number back and played the "you just called me, but we must have been disconnected" card. I caught him off guard, but he tried to play along and pretend that was what happened. I then told him that we were not interested and not to call back again and he said "how about we get disconnected again then" and hung up again.
The name showing on the phone with this number was Ronnie Chbat, and it definitely sounded like a cell phone. VERY RUDE, and if this is a scam I hope they get caught, if it's a rude employee or company I want to know who it is!
Of course it's a scam. When are people going to learn that anyone who calls your business and asks for the "owner" is always a scammer. Always. Every time. Every one. No exceptions.
