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.
Seriously? ... "professional" businesses don't call people up and hang up when asked what this is regarding... scammers do. If they were "legitimate" they would send letters. I played their game on one of their many predictive dialer calls and said it was me.. they said "bull sh*t" and hung up.
Actually.. my business is to track these people down and put them out of business. Believe me.. I'm patient.. I'll pierce their layer upon layer of shields and figure out who they are.. There are FAR more "reputable" businesses out there such as Transworld.. they don't call people under cover.. they don't hang up when their call isn't passed.. and besides, when the owner of the company themselves answer and ask who's calling and they treat them like garbage.. not a good business model. I would never use them to sell my used garbage on ebay or craig's list.
These people are scum of the earth.. John Waffles is a moron.
