This guy is an [***], same situation as above. But when I told him I was not interested, he called back and took a very direct tact...He eventually told me to shut my mouth and I lit off on him and hung up. The kid is a punk, beware, this is a scam!!!
Same thing happened at our business. A guy named "Chris" called from "Merchant Services." He insisted on speaking with the owner. Our owner never takes calls and always ask to just take a message for anyone who calls and to not give out his information. I told Chris I would leave a message, he instantly got rude and snippy with me DEMANDING to speak to the owner, I told him he can't all I can do is take his message and hung up. He immediately called back to file a complaint against me asking to speak to my supervisor, after telling him I can take a message for that too he called me a liar and went off he also insisted everyone else who calls is a scam and that he is the ONLY one who is legit. Needless to say, our business knows he is a scam but he won't stop calling! We just tell them we aren't taking anymore messages, we have one and if our owner wants to call back then they will.
Same Story Here, hope everyone googles this guys number and name.
He started screaming at me when I started to ask him questions as he said he was from our credit card processor company, which is also named merchant services. He had the wrong name of our company and this started to make me question what he was telling me. I asked him to stop screaming at me and to explain himself and that is when he started going LA LA LA LA. I called our credit card processing company and they were extremely helpful and advised that they would never call us to report a change in our processing and that it would always come in the form of a written notice usually attached to our statement.
What is happening to the world?
Similar story - Chris has called asking for the CEO by first name. I put him through the normal questions to see if he was selling anything, even asking if this was a sales call. He said that this was not a sales call and it was in regards to File Reference Number: 1234xyzetc.
He is trying to sell something. He is not calling on a real matter of concern. He clearly is manipulative from the info he has tried to use to get through me to the CEO - after reading his other tactics he is clearly a jerk with little regards for people's time or feelings.
I could not be more tired of dealing with shady telemarketers!
Question him a little and he gets butthurt and starts acting like a jerk. I found it funny but honestly I hope he gets some kind of reprisal for his actions. Total bottomfeeder scumbag.
