Number looked strange as it came up with country code first so (0119723317540 on call display) but I answered it politely and he said "Hello XXXX" (my bosses name). I said, sorry but XXXX wouldn't be in the office today" and he paused and then asked if I was one of the owners. Now I was quite suspicious and said sorry, but I was not and what was this in regards to. He grumpily re-emphasized XXXX so I hung up. If he couldn't figure out the first time that he really wasn't going to get an audience with the boss, pulling attitude wasn't going to get him anything but hung up on. Glad to find out he was nothing more than a jerk cold caller.
Received a call stating it was "Confidential" that she needed to speak with the owners by name. I asked her what it was regarding and all she could say was confidential. Never left a message and I hung up. This is twice in a week they have called. Hope this does not become a problem.
Call received at business. Man identified himself as Michael Rose from International Inquisitions. As this was obviously a telemarketer, I screened the call and said the owner was in a meeting but offered to help with Mr. Rose's questions. He pointedly said he did not want to talk to me, that he was looking to "purchase" something. When I continued to screen the call (and not put him online with the owner), he became aggressive and accused me of being extremely rude and then hung up. How ironic.
100% total scam. It's the same thing as Corporate Acquisitions Group/Global Acquisitions Group(they changed names when the criminal lawsuits started to pile up) from Englewood Colorado. They were finally killed by the Colorado AG and hit with a $2 million dollar fine for defrauding over 700 small businesses.
According to the complaint filed in Arapahoe County District Court, Defendant Tymkovich and Levine represented themselves to be a business broker company specializing in the sale of small businesses.

The Defendants convinced over 700 businesses to contract the sale of their businesses. However, Defendants sold fewer that ten businesses from July 2006 – September 2009.
Our company was getting flooded today in an hour period every five seconds this number calling. It has been driving us nuts, but I have found out to that someone has hacked into their phone systems.
