they call up o 10 times daily at times to offer us accounting services. We have told them we have our own CPA but they continue to call, even when asked not to call us again.
My employee received a call from these people while I was out. Stated it was a tax issue and wanted my information. The employee used his head and stated that the owner was not here and they could leave a message. They continued to ask for the info and my employee said have a good a day and hung up.
They call back and said are you going to hang up on me again? My employee stated that he was not going to give out any info and then they hung up.
I'm curious as to why company's like this think they can call and badger people into giving them info they have no right to know?
I stopped his tax spiel at the first phrase by saying "Sorry, we don't pay taxes." That made him lose his train of thought and I hung up.
The jerk called me back 15 times in the next 5 minutes.
Don't bother me, I just let him hang in dead air.
Then one time I answered with "They won't pay you. They're scamming you, not me. No more calls.

I think the guy in question is mentally retarded, had difficulty talking, repeated words, etc. I would have been sympathetic, but then he got into a riff with deeply biased overtones and I hung up. Got several more call backs right in a row where he shouted something, hung up and called again. How do those people get put in jobs they can't deal with?
For the last two month this company and its agaents have been calling about a "tax matter" but my business has not tax problems. This has been explained many times, each time they say my number would be removed, but it never is. This time I called them back and spoke with a Mr. Mike Zacha, if he gave me the correct name. He said he is the owner and that he would personally remove me from further calls. I will be following this conversation up with a letter under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Act to place Mr. Zacha on notice to cease and disist for further contact or I would be filing suit under the Federal Act for harrassment and monetary damages.
