Caller id'd herself as "Shagall Porter" and wants to know if we would like extra work from her company. Probable scam sales pitch for phony customer leads. Closed down for a while and no calls recieved from them, but now apparently back up again.
Got a voice mail from this number with a woman's voice identifying herself as Ashley Fellows and she looking for a small contractor...
I googled the phone number and it was from a company called Sunword:504 Thunderbolt Drive, Walterboro, SC 29488-9308(843) 538-6952.
Did not return the call as in my experience anyone who does not openly identify their company is a middleman telemarketer trying to get you to subscribe to a construction bid contact notification service.
As a licensed contractor for 20 years, I hesitated when they called and I asked them where they got my co.name and number, and what were the assets they found to call me in the first place. She went down an extensive list of specific organizations I am licensed by, and had talked with my Govt.director as well, and approved me on the phone. I get my first job with money up front in two weeks.
Jeannie, would you mind giving me your business name and number so I can talk to you about your call from them then? I'm sure you won't mind sharing that - hey free advertising too!!
Thanks!!
