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.
Just received a phone call to our business. The person on the other line mumbled our owner's name, and he's never available if I cannot give him information about who is calling. Asked if they would leave a message and I was hung up on. We would never do business with a company that uses underhanded tactics and is straight up rude! I look forward to denying them access to my boss in the future, because I am certain they will call again.
