Just got a call from "Texakoma" only using a different number: 972-212-8069. Same story...asking for the owner by the first name as if they are buddies. Refuses to leave a message. Beware.
Same deal here. Calling from 972-701-9061, wants to talk to the owner, refuses to give any information or hangs up when asked. All he will say is he "Samuel" is from Texakoma (an oil production company in Plano TX). Hope this helps someone avoid his calls and subsequently, the harassment.
Same as everyone above. Calling about investment opportunities for oil and gas and according to the guy i spoke the owner has a great opportunity to invest for a big profit. I flat out told him I will never pass him to the owner. He left his number anyway. Uh huh I will be sure to pass the message along.
Called and asked to speak to "Peter" very casually like he knew him. I told him he wasn't in and he said he would try him on another line he has for him. Yeah right....
Just got a call from these guys... always know it's not something important when they ask for the owner by first name only.....considering he died about 2 years is a sure fire way to know it's spam. Thankfully the new owner has a personal assistant I can pass these two. She hangs up more skillfully than I.
Okay so I did some research after getting the calls. First, If you have been a business owner for longer than 2 seconds then you know there are scams in the oil and gas industry that call you up and try to get you to invest your hard earned money. And yes, it's a little unsettling when I get a call from an oil and gas "company" because you don't know which is which.
Texakoma, however, is in fact a completely legitimate oil and gas investment firm in the Plano area there North of Dallas. They are registered with FINRA, the financial regulatory authority. The guys, or gals that call me or you are licensed brokers by the state of Texas and they had to pass a series 22 and series 63 securities exam prior to them being employed there. Of course the economy being what it is, I have no money to invest in anything but my own business. But at least if you get a call from this number, you can rest assured that they are not a scam.
