The guy from RLS Construction called me (a municipal employee) some months ago and insisted that he send me a free saw blade to try and then he would invoice our city if we liked the blade. When I told him I could get fired for buying a blade without doing the advance paperwork, he got mad and insisted that I would for the only city in the nation with such a rule and he eventually hung up on me after getting madder. Well, today I had a voice mail from Jessie Smith with RLS Construction and I failed to recognize the name until it was too late and he started his high pressure saw blade sales pitch. He said he would be showing them at the Las Vegas Concrete Expo so I said I would look at the blades there and he said that “nobody comes to his booth except his loyal customers” (I think he doesn’t have a booth). So, I said I’d check his web site and he said he didn’t have a web site because it was “under construction”. So, as the high pressure sales started, I finally had to hang up on him.
Same story as all the ones I have just read. Been calling our business for years to sell saw blades. This time is was Ed Smith, owner of RLS Construction with a call back number of 661-310-0910.
Took a call for my boss from Ed Smith with RLS Construction, phone # 661-310-0910. He said my boss would know what is was pertaining to. It sounded like a sales call but I took his number. My boss did not recognize the name and asked me to research the company, I am glad I found this blog.
I have taken messages from Jessie,Larry, Ed & Joe Smith for my boss with several return numbers the most recent is 661-310-1644. They have even said that they would call him on his cell which was actually line 2 in my office and was very surprised when I answered. They are all RUDE and report that my boss has called them and they are returning the call. We try to shop local since we are a municipality, but it does not discourage the SMITH'S.
Same here - Caller identified himself as "Ed Smith" - called from 661-310-2545. He wanted to speak to our owner and would not say what is call was pertaining to, but claimed our owner knew him and would want to speak to him. BOGUS SALESMAN
