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.
Extreme Misrepresentation from the caller.
Got a call from them asking for the owner TYRONE as if they new him. Like an old lost friend.
I said he was not in and asked if I can help. He said no this is an URGENT PERSONAL MATTER. I commented PERSONAL? He said very Very VERY PERSONAL. I asked what kind of PERSONAL MATTER. He said you tell TYRONE to call me ASAP, Today, like right now.
I asked for the number and he said I will just try him later. Then I heard him laugh out load and he said " STUPID [***]! and hung up.
Received phone call from this number also. Looked number up on the internet and found all these post. What I have been doing is calling their number back. Two can play this game. Tired of all these telemarketers calling our company. Requested my number to be removed. Don't know if this will work but my last call back to one has not called again.
They found our number off our website. That's how they know who to ask for. No one wants to talk to them, so I have to keep telling them they are busy, they won't leave a message and call back an hour later
