I suspect this guy of calling from other numbers as well, some of which do not show anything on caller ID. Do you have a list of other numbers he is calling you from? I got a call this morning from 859.838.4654 that sounded like him, but am puzzled because it is a local number for us. I would strongly recommend to you and anyone else who has had calls from this wacko to follow the instructions on the Site Menu on this site that tells you how to report him to the FTC and to report any threatening incidents as a terroristic threat to your local police. If anyone is to stop him, it will have to be the victims, and our due diligence will be required.
"Steve?"
yeah
"You don't recognise my voice?"
no
"Well we spoke about a month ago you said you wanted me to call you back"
I don't remember saying that, I don't think so.
"Hows the weather up there? I hear it's been cooling down for you"
peachy, what can I do for you?
"Do you have a pen and paper? You are going to want to take down some notes on our overstocked items."
Have we done business before? Who are you with?
"No we haven't, this is Arizona Surplus and we have been providing you with stationary and overstocked items..."
NO you have NOT. I knew it, you are buttering me up for the kill! Put me on your do not call list and don't ever call me for anything ever again.
My cell number evidently used to be for a local lawn care service. I get calls for them all the time. This one was a classic. Guy calls and asks for Tom at Blankety-Blank Lawn Care. I told him that their number has changed and that I get calls for him all the time. He said it's probably because Tom owes them money too. And that he (the person I was speaking with) "wasn't the kinda guy you owe money to and just disappear, if you get my drift". And that if I ever by any chance speak with Tom, to tell him that "Big Benny" is looking for him. That call cracked me up.
Asks for "Bob", which owner doesn't go by. Then after I ask to take a message for the owner who isn't available he tells me he is with Western Contractors and wants to give us a job and he wants the owners cell #. I asked again for his information and refuse to give out the owners cell # and explain that I can I have the owner return his call. He asks if thats how we do business and then he said he would take his business elsewhere and hung up.
Guy said he was Dale Worthey or Wurley. VERY rude. Wanted my husband's cell phone and when I wouldn't give it to him he asked me if I was this rude to all customers? Complete jerk.
The call came in as 'unavailable' so my wife (in a playful mood , I guess) picked up the phone and told them we do not accept calls from 'unavailable', then hung up. The guy called right back and told her he was planning to give us a big order (we are self-employed) but that since she was so rude, he wouldn't give us a dime! My wife was very relieved to find out that it was a scam! From now on, 'unavailable' means 'unanswered'!!
