I picked up and after a couple of seconds, some lady with a slight foreign accent came on the line asking for the owner of the company. I told her he's not in and could I help her with anything and she said she'd call back. Obviously a call trying to sell something, probably another one of those business loan offers.
Ok, I just got a callback and this was a different woman but again with a foreign accent (sounded like accent-trained east Indian). She identified herself as Sophia and the company as Capital Advance Solutions (it took me 3 or 4 tries for me to catch this because she spoke it so fast). Confirming my suspicion, they offer business loans.
Call calls with very thick accent - introduced himself (fake name i am sure) and states the compnay he was calling from (could not understand)
Tells me that thay are "pre-approving" my company for a cash advance." (mind you- they do not ask for any one- they just start telling the first person who answers that the company has been approved...)
I tell the guy that we are notinterested sand to please remove us from their calling list--he says "ok" and thank you- nad hangs up- We shall see if i am truly removed...
After I answered and said hello and can I help you a few times a man with a middle eastern accent told me that the owner of the company qualified for a loan and can he speak to him. First of all.....the owner of the company is in the corporate office, we are a satellite office. Second, he didn't even know the owners name....no thank you. I simply stated that the owner wasn't in then he said he'd call back.
