Man asked for the "business owner" by first name only. I advised that they were in a meeting and offered to transfer to voice mail. He gave a loud sigh and disconnected.
Hasn't left a message that I can remember, just keeps calling and calling and calling daily for the last year or more. My customers are local so I don't answer the numerous out of state calls I don't recognize. It is a complete waste of time. If it is an honest business it will be a real person that is polite and wants to work with you. If this "business" is offering money to help you grow don't take it. If your business is in good shape and you want to expand your local bank will work with you. Don't go out of state with people you don't know and risking everything you've worked for, you'll loose. This nonsense has got to stop! I've turned off my answering machine so these "offers" can't even leave a message. Call all you want!, you're wasting your time AND mine! The Do Not Call List doesn't seem to be very effective. My customers that count know how to get ahold of me. It's sad that a business has to pay for a decoy phone line to divert bulls**t like this and it becomes a necessary part of what it takes on top of everything else to make ends meet. Time is precious, and these people are wasting mine.......
