Asks for owner and when told he is not in then he asked when will he be in, I said Monday.....will wait and see if he calls back so I can tell him next Monday..... hahaha
Rang wireline. Left no message. This caller pitch description seems quite similar to another caller -866-499-8810, "New World Marketing." In fact, both "New World" and "Radio Amer[ica], INC" called with an hour of each other. Both broker/package public service announcements for various radio stations.
This is how Radio America Sales promotes itself:

They called saying they were from WNAX - said they wanted to speak to the owner, I said I can help you, he said can I talk to Ed its for a charity event they have coming up - and he kept mocking me, saying should we remove you from this list this month, are you having a bad month, so rude and so crafty, JERKS - DEFINATELY A SCAMMER - they use your local RADIO STATION to get you to listen then ask for credit card for the listing! DO NOT DO IT _ SUCH A SCAM - IF YOU ARE UNSURE AND THIS WAS not a local NUMBER ALWAYS CALL YOUR LOCAL STATION DIRECTLY - DO NOT GIVE OVER THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHO CALLS YOU!
Cold call for radio advertising. Very rude and pushy. He called the day before Christmas Eve and i wouldn't let him talk to the owner, and he had a bad attitude about it. Everyone in the office is busy trying to wrap everything up before we close for the next few days so I simply wasn't going to let him take up anyone's time, especially not the owner.
