Rude individual by the name of Craig has called my office mulitple times. Always rude to my receptionists, insists on obtaining my cell phone number. I personally have told him I am not interested in investing or doing business with him. He still calls weekly. I have called John Thomas Financial and requested to be taken off their list, it has not happend.

A man named George Leo called for the owner of the company. I asked him if he had his cell phone number because he was not in the office. The owner goes back his middle name and the telemarketer used his middle name so I thought he was a client of ours who knew the owner. But I realized he was a telemarketer when he said yes I have his cell, and then said "wait what's his cell phone number again?" I then asked for his telephone number and that's when he gave me the 212-299-7800 number. I told him the owner should be in soon so I will have him call you back. I asked what it was regarding and he said "private equity". I also asked for his email because that's how the owner usually corresponds and the telemarketer says "I don't have one in particular right now so I will try to call him back at a more convenient time". Nice try!

Just got a call exactly like that. Wanted me to give out the cell number.

Just received a call from this number. The caller was a female who asked to speak to our CEO. I could clearly hear other callers in the background so immediately knew it was a telemarketer. I told her he was in a meeting and asked her what the call was regarding. She said that she would just try back at a later time and then hung up.

They also use 212-299-7805

They called me again!!!! (4th time this summer!!!). This time the phone number came up "unavailable 000-000-0000" on caller ID. I asked who was calling and he said was calling from "John Thomas". I asked what phone number he was calling from and the loser goes "uhhh yeah I need to speak with _____ directly". I said "well you've called her several times...." and they hung up on me. These guys are really getting on my last nerve the next time they call I am really gonna lose it on them. They are not getting to speak to the owner of this company, not only because you're a loser with poor phone skills but that you are moronic enough to believe you will get to speak with the president or VP of a company talking to the gatekeepers like you do.

Got call at work asked for our VP who is also one of our owners. I am always skeptical about calls that come in from 212 area codes as they are almost always financial/investment solicitations. I asked the caller who he was and he said "John Thomas". I asked him what it was regarding and he told me "a business matter" and that the owner (whom they referred to by his full name---which nobody does) :would know what it was about it. I told him that I cannot put the call through without knowing what it is regarding. He said again, that it was business matter and that the owner would know about it. I asked him if this was a solicitation call and he mumbled something under his breath. I told him he can give me his phone number and if the owner "remembers" what its regarding he will call him back since he insists he knows about it. He refused to give me the phone number. I pretty much told him too bad then and hung up.

This guy was trying to get past me and it wasn't going to happen. In what world do you get to call a company and speak with the owner or president of that company whenever you want and without telling the gatekeepers what its about? If he had legitimate business with the owner, he would've had no problem leaving his phone number. Sorry "John Thomas" but this girl isn't a moron and she does her job right.

212-299-7800 was the caller ID of John Thomas Financial Services.  Asked for our President and when I asked what it was regarding, said a deal that they were working on together and that it was a private matter.

I just hung up on him as the conversation got very rude on his part.  After reading these messages and at a few other websites, its nice to know it is one big scam by JTF.

Called asking for the President and acted like they knew each other.  New York accent was  dead give away on the scam, hung up after told him we knew all about John Thomas scams.

Very cocky!!!! A Craig from JTF called asking for the president. I asked what it is regarding, he says he knows me. Watch out, these people are scum bags.

A female just called for one of the executives in our office and said she was calling from John Thomas's office.  I called him, he didn't know what it was, and asked me to get more info.  I got back on with her, and asked for more information and she said, "I'm calling regarding a previous conversation, he knows what it's about."  I said, actually, he doesn't and he asked me to get more information.  All she would say (again) was that it was regarding a previous conversation.  I said, you'll have to give me more info.  She rudely said, "Ill just have to e-mail" and hung up on me.  Glad I checked here, I'll know what to do with them from now on!

Attempted to get through to the owner, little did they know there are 2 of us. I nicely stated he is not in right now (he was talking to me), and he replied "Oh whats his cell # again we need to finish up a conversation" told him we do not give that out, he replied with "no worries, i'll send him an email". Acted like he knew the owners when he was actually talking to an owner the whole time. Good job JTF

got a call from this number, click hang up when you say hello 212-299-7800

Well, some guy asked for the owner and I said he's not here. I already knew it was a scam. He asked when do you expect him in, I said I don't know. I asked what it is regarding, he wouldn't answer. Then he said he'd shoot him an email then hung up. I hate these people. They act as if they know the owner.

I just posted above...and these idiots just called me back....AGAIN!

This time I answered with a weird accent. They again asked for the owner. I told them they called 10 minutes ago and I already informed them that he wasn't in. The bi*** hung up on me.

Do they understand that they are preventing me from doing my JOB when they continuously call here and bother me when I am supposed to be helping customers? The audacity of this bi*** to even call here again.

Called my work, asked for owner, told him he wasn't in and asked if they would like to leave a message. She goes "well is he gone for the day or only for a while". I told her I really had no idea. She just sat there. I'm like uhh lady I don't have a schedule for the fricking owner of the company so goodbye.

he call me all the time, he know my owner's name, and ask the phone number, I ask way then click!off the phone.

These guys call all the time, lying about having spoken with the owner. They know the owner's name and claim to be calling back or claim to have spoken with the owner earlier. Caller ID says 000-000-0000, but when pressed, they say that they're from John Thomas and give 212-299-7800 as the callback number. It's a scam call. When I ask to have our number taken off their list, they hang up.

I looked up their website http://www.johnthomasfinancial.com/contact/new-york-headquarters and if you call (212) 299-7816, you can get your number taken off their call list

Rude dude wanting to speak to the owner pretending he knows him. Very pushy. "What was his cell number again?" Nice try buddy.

This person tries to get through to "the boss," owner, etc.  We can tell he is a telemarketer/scammer. Was insulting to our operator when she told him, "he doesn't have a cell phone."  He said,  "what does he use smoke signals? And then he hung up."

This guy says he would like to speak to "______".  I said, "He's not in right now, can I take a message?"  He replies, "Is he in the field or just not there yet?"  I said, "He hasn't come in yet."  He tries to trick me by saying, "Oh, well, I was supposed to get back with him."  "I'll just call back."  And he hangs up.  Little did he know that my boss was in, but I could tell this guy was a salesman right off the bat.  And if it was the case, that he was supposed to "get back with him" he would have left a message for my boss to call him back.  I Googled his number and it was a telemarketer-obviously, from these other remarks.  Idiot.

Same here.  I have gotten good to notice the calls I hang up on them before they call me.  I am going to report them right now.

Just got a call from this number 212-299-7800. Asked for Owner when told he wasnt in can I help you he said he just need to get ahold of him, now what was his call # Again? Sorry I cant give that out, His response "Just perfect" and hangs up. I am so sick of these calls!!! We have all the # on the Do not call list but it doesnt seem to work AT ALL!!!!

Caller ID of incoming call from 212-299-7800 (JOHN THOMAS FIN).  Call went into Voice Message.  Just a hang-up with no message!

Just received call at work for my boss - the guy just left his name (sans company) and number.  Would not say why he was calling.

Just got a call from these guys... Guy asked for the owner by name, I got his name and the initials of the company, JTF; then he said it was about a bid he had discussed with the owner (we're a construction company).  Owner gets on the phone and after a few seconds I hear "I thought this was about an estimate? Oh yeah? Well, screw you buddy!" and he hung up on the guy!!  Owner told me it was about a stock bid...

They use whatever they know about your company to get through!

Pushy, rude caller asking for CFO. When I asked questions about why he was calling he was vague with responses. I'll never let calls from this number through, especially after checking it out (came from John Thomas Financial - New York).

Got a call asking for "__________". Replied by asking "May I ask who's calling?" Guy responds by saying "Hold on" and then click! hangs up on me. He better hope I don't find him next time out in New York.
