I was called by this number today so like most of us here I looked into it. Reading your comment here really shows me you have not been educated about lending. I do not work for this company, but I am the Vice President of a company that gives working capital loans, real estate loans, land development loans (construction), etc. Just because a company is reaching out to you to help your company off the ground does not make them a scam or naive. Yes, there are some brokerages out there that conduct terrible business and all they think of their clients as is ATM's and dollar signs. Please do not your negative impression hinder you from future borrowing, you may really need it one day. My advice is make sure you do your research into the company first and then go based off that information. I know at my company we pride ourselves on ethical business practices because we don't want to be lke everyone else. We went to stay in business for a long time and not just make a quick buck.
Honest lenders/brokers do still exist. You just have to find the diamond in the rough.
Thank you and I hope this message finds you soon and helps change your perspective on us.
Received a call from this telephone number. A man with a New York accent said he was from a company that gave loans to businesses and that I had made an inquiry into that. Did not get the name of the company. I told him I had never inquired about any business loans. I wanted to know if anyone had used my name to get a loan and he said all the information he had was my name and business name which can be gotten pretty much anywhere. I believe he was fishing for more information.
If you get a call from 516-543-3932 try and get the company they are representing and post it here in 800notes.
This number called our business today at 1059 hours. When I saw "Sprout Lending" on the caller ID I knew it was yet another loan shark trying to do "business" with us, so I picked up the receiver slightly and slammed it right back down again. We don't have any business loans and have no need or interest in any but these business loan sharks have been coming out of the woodwork like crazy this year. I've received at least two "loan" calls today before 11. I'm tired of these bottom feeders wasting my time several times a day darn near every single workday. I can't imagine anyone naïve enough to actually borrow money from some cold-calling stranger.
These people called our business again, this time at 1101 hours today. I picked the receiver up slightly and slammed it right back down again. I wonder how long it will take these clueless spammers to figure out we're not interested in anything they're selling, including loans.
These persistent idiots called our business again, this time today at 1649 hours. When I saw "Sprout Lending" I knew it was a bs, very much unwanted cold-call so I picked up the receiver slightly and slammed it right back down again. They instantly called again so I did the same thing. I'm not wasting my time on cold-calling spammers/scam artists. I looked up their site but under "contact us" they don't list an email address. I'm not surprised. They probably got tired of irate emails from the companies they've been plaguing with their unwanted, unsolicited sales calls.
These people earn the Pest-of-the-Month Award. They called today at 1152 hours. I picked up and hung up, just as I've done multiple times before but they are apparently too stupid to get the clue that we're not interested. Caller ID said "Sprout Lending", just as always, and I did find such a company on the web but they don't have an email. Maybe we should call THEM constantly to bug them (800-865-6057) and see how they like it.
