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.
I received a call from IAG and was considering meeting with them. My friend notified me that IAG is a scam and Holden Buckner has criminal charges here in Canada too.
Hi Close Call! IAG is not a scam and once one has performed some semblance of due diligence, one would discover the truth. Unfortunately for some in the business world, it takes too much effort to investigate on one's own behalf to learn the facts. By the way, Holden Buckner, who no longer operates at IAG, was facing criminal charges in the domestic arena and not the M&A markets. If you would like to know more, contact IAG directly!
The truth is...this company is a SCAM! You buy leads and have telemarketers call business owners indicating that you have a potential buyer. International??? You don't have offices in the places you claim. You charge $10k- $30k for phony business appraisals. I met with an Independent Contractor representing this firm a couple of years ago and have been investigating them ever since.
They are on to you...soon you will have to change names once again.
