I just got a call from this number...just dead air, no response when I announced myself. I so wish these people from all of these boiler room telemarketing scams could be rounded up and locked away. They cost business so much money.
Called and requested the owner by first name only. When asked who was calling the female voice said she was calling from the credit card processing company at which time I ended the call. Voice on other end was very sporadic when speaking almost like it was a machine replying.
the "sporatic" part of it, is a delay for translation. In many cases these are routed through domestic switches and originate internationally. They actually get a translation in some instances and that causes the weird timing. It's my instant cue to hang up.
Called my business phone and hung up without leaving a message. Glad I was on the other line with a client and did not waste my time answering. Honestly, does this auto dial method really work? I assume it must as the calls persist. http://www.eBizROI.com/ for a better way to market beside interuption based auto dialed cold calling!
He wanted to speak to the person in charge of the merchants account. I asked him for his name, then his address, he asked why I need his address, I told him that I need to know who I'm speaking with. It shocked him out of his wits, and he hung up.
