I just got a call from Colleen Manny saying she got my info from BNI and was representing the Skokie Country Club. Tried to sell me an ad in a directory that would "go to 7 different country clubs". it sounded a bit fishy and she wanted me to commit right there (most likely to get a credit card number) so I asked her to email me the details. She said she would, but then the way she abruptly hung up told me she was probably fishing for credit card info.
This guy calls himself Todd Lavene but I looked on line and he uses different names on different calls. He said he was from a local Golf Club here and wanted me to call back. I called the Golf Club and they have never heard of him. Other people have written the same thing that he gives the name of a local golf club.
No doubt he's a scam or marketing guy...either way, when he calls back I'm going to have fun with him!
THIS GUY (TODD) HAS CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES SAYING HE IS REPRESENTING A LOCAL PRESTIGIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND NEEDS TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER OF THIS BUSINESS. HE IS DEFINITELY A SCAM OR TELEMARKETER. I WILL PRETEND TO BE THE OWNER NEXT TIME TO SEE HOW FAR HE GOES.
I received a voicemail this morning from Colleen Manney calling me regarding Abeline Golf and Country Club.
I called back and there was no answer.
I googled the number and found this site.
Have been getting all sorts of annoying calls on my cellphone. This number called just now and I found these other comments.
I pay a lot for my cell phone service and I wish that they would do more to stop these calls - people should be able to report the number and have it blocked universally so the callers can't bother any one else.
