My boss keeps getting calls from this number too, they either hang up or ask for him and then when I ask for a name etc...I get something different every time...or they hang up. Today the guy said his name was Palmer Gibson calling for Rodger Sanders Office. When I ran the name by my boss he had no idea who it was and when I went back to pick up the phone they guy had already hung up. Ridiculous.
Don’t worry about this dip. It’s just a call center. Companies hire them to generate warms leads. They give you the BS that “John Doe” is going to be in the area tomorrow and would like to meet with you for 5 minutes. The more leads they get the more money they make. So don’t worry, your not talking to the person that or company that they claim to be. In my case I received a call from a true looser claiming to be from International Profit Associates. I had a lot of fun jerking him around and wasting his time. Bottom line, these people hide behind the company that they represent, not the company they work for. The best thing to do is call the company that they claim to be and complain about the calling service that they hired. That way they will dump that calling service and THEN you’ll be getting the SOB that keeps calling you.
I just want to say thanks for your post; you prevented me from making a big mistake. I almost became a victim to this scam. Business is slow and they told me all the things that I wanted to hear, they’ll cut my cost, increase profits, bring more customers to me, and yes the original call came from this number. I then looked a little closer and found that this number is from PA but IPA is in IL, Hmmmm. So I called IPA and point blank asked them if they originally called me or a service. Answer – a service company. I then asked them if they guaranty their claims to increase my bottom line. WOW did I get the song and dance then. Thanks your saved me $ and headaches.
What an attitude. When I said the owner does not have a three way, and he only calls in for his messages, the woman said How do I leave a message, whith you, that will never happen and hung up!
