This one came up this morning - I usually answer within 3 rings, but was in another room with 2 baby gates separating me from the call - this should have forwarded to my cell phone, but the caller didn't wait long enough - usually takes 6 rings to reach my cell.
So, who doesn't have the extra 12 seconds to wait for two more rings than 4? It's got to be a telemarketer.
THEY CALLED MY WORK & ASKED FOR ME BY NAME (NOT SURE HOW THEY KNOW MY NAME IN THE 1ST PLACE) THEN THEY ASKED IF I COULD GIVE THE OWNER'S NAME. I ASKED HIM WHY AND HE WAS NOT ABLE TO ASWNER ME...THEN HE JUST HUNG UP...HOW WIERD
called and asked for owner - by first and last name. I replied that the owner was not available. She asked if there was another business owner available. I asked what her name was. She gave me the name of Rachel Silverman. I asked for the company name. She gave me the name of George May Company. I asked what the call was in reference to and she replied "a business opportunity" When I asked for her phone number she hung up on me.

"Kim" called and asked for the owner by his first name. I knew it was a sales call and told him he was not in. I asked what company he was with and a phone number. He told me he was with George May Company and it was about a "construction contract" (we are a construction company). He gave me the # of 866-454-7854 (my phone log said 847-454-7854 was calling).
I looked up the company and came back with this horror story:

I saw the name George May in a previous response. The company is actually George S. May and they sell a subscription service to business owners with news articles and business advice.
For those wondering about how business owners names are obtained, there is a database service called InfoUSA that gathers that type of information and makes it available online as a marketing tool. If you have a library card, you can access that information free at your local library or your local library's online service, if they have one.
