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.
They made an unsolicited sales call to my personal cell phone, very annoying and illegal. I shut them down at the point they were asking what my name is . . . anyone legit calling me knows my name and doesn't ever ask. Jerks. I think he said his name was Ryan White, I'd like to call him repeatedly on his personal cell phone . . . .
First of all - any legit business will leave a message, so if I am interested, I can contact you. Secondly, they will leave an "opt out" option so that if I am Not interested, my name comes off the call list. Third - when I say I am not interested, why would you waste everyone's time including yours by continuing to call? Fourth - when I say no, it means No. Being rude and insulting will not make me want to do business with you. YOUR COMPANY is A BIG SCAM!
