Rick Pope left a voicemail on our office answering machine. He said he was calling to speak with the owner of our company, which he did know his name so that made me suspicious since he didn't say anyone had referred him or anything like that. We are a paving company. On the message he said he was calling out of his office in Dallas. That they were having business coming up in the state our company is in. They need a company like ours. Call to get details and the scope of work. I wrote it up for the owner but before giving it to him I looked it up on here just in case. Needless to say it's in the trash now.
He said his name was Rick Pope, and works for G&E, the "world's largest M&A firm. (i.e., Mergers & Acquisitions.)
Interestig that the number doesn't return to the world's largest M&A firm - - or that I'd never heard of it.
Yeah, I got a call from Rick or Rent Pope as well. He called and left a message at the office I work at. He was very vague about what his company did and in his original message, didn't even give out his company name. When I started asking more about his company and if he needed a bid from us (we are a service company), he just said he had a conference call and needed to go.

Rick Pope called from his Dallas office asking to speak to the owner by name. Said he would be in OKC area and needed someone in our area of expertise (a service company). He was very vague with his answers to my probing questions and he did not want to send any info by fax or email. Right now he is just doing preliminary research. Said he works for G&E an M&A firm. Gave his direct office number to call him back as 972-481-2842.
Thank you for your posts. They are very helpful in dealing with calls like these.
