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.
got a call from this number this afternoon. The caller was a lady asking for the owner. I then asked her what was this in regards to. She said is a confidental matter. I left her on hold for a couple of mins. and she hung up. That always does the trick.
They want to buy the company you work for, it's that simple: I manage a storage facility. At least two nearby competitors have sold to larger chains in the last year. For the last year we have also received heavy solicitation to sell. First we were contacted via mail, and now phone calls. This person also introduced themselves as working for IAG, an aquisition company in Texas. He explained that they were working on behalf of investors who would like to buy personal storage facilities. I think it's legit. I think they are payed to drum up investments for investors like larger chains who can afford to pay millions to swallow up the smaller competition. I called the number back anonymously through *67 and was answered by a very kind receptionist who explained that she had no way of telling who had called me and so didn't know who to direct me to, unlike solicitors who don't usually pick up or when they do are very rude.

received a call from this number, hung up before I could answer, checked online to discover it was not anyone I wanted to talk to. if it shows up again I will not answer
Just received a call. Asked for my boss and refered to him as "Mike" when he always goes by "Michael". Woman was very rude! She said she was calling from IHE in regards to a business matter. When I asked to be more specific she said that she couldn't tell me anything unless I was his wife. I hung up.
