Same as all above. Called and asked for Office Manager or HR Manager. Yelling at me, the receptionist, when they don't answer the phone or I offer you voicemail because I can tell you're a telemarketer, is one sure way to make sure your calls never go thru or messages are delivered. Kindness goes a long way in this world and as long as you're rude to me, I've been given permission by my managers to be rude right back. So please, if you're selling something, be at least nice.

214-380-9717: Caller said her name was "Wendy Schmitz with All State" and asked for the Human Resource manager. When asked the nature of the call (we have many HR employees), she said she "needs information". Then she asked for the HR director by name-the name that is publicly available online. I asked for a number for someone to call her back, as this is how our company prefers to handle calls from people we don not have an established working relationship with, and she refused to give a number . She said she would just call the CEO herself and hung up on me. Callers who refuse to leave a number to reach them, who become upset and rude when they are not immediately connected to who they wish to speak with, or who hang up on me are good at one thing-closing the door by showing that they are not professional, do not represent a professional company, and are not anyone we would ever consider doing business with. So these calls are very helpful and are logged and recorded. Thanks for all the red flags!

214-380-9717 Shows up as Anonymous on Caller ID. They just called our office asking for the head of our HR Department. When pressed for info, said his name was Jason and claimed to be working for AFLAC. We don't have or use AFLAC in our office so the call is clearly not for us. Told him the HR Manager was busy, said he would call back. Adding the number to our system as Don't Answer/Telemarketer and will be letting it go to the machine every time.

Same experience as above. Lady calls and asks for Office Manager/ HR. I tell her that she was out to lunch, and the lady asked, "well when will she be back" I replied "I don't  know, May I take a message" and the Lady replied, "No I will just call again later.." Ok- you go ahead and call back...you will get same answer. I am SO TIRED of telemarketing Jerks calling and trying to bully their way through me. Leave a message or tell me what it is regards to, or you are not getting by me!

Says he's from AFLAC asking for office manager....so why does called ID say ANONYMOUS?

Permanent hold

Same thing - ask for office person that handles HR Company Benefits.
Won't leave message.  Says they call back.  Oh try try try - I am the gate keeper!

It isn't a scam. The person is probably with a network marketing company that offers goods or services to small businesses. They're taught to speak with the owner/president of the company to avoid being put through the filter of human resources/administrative assistants who aren't the ones who make the decision as to whether to get the service he's selling or offer it to their employees. I know, I used to teach people to do that very thing. He's not very good at it though. The quickest way to get a no answer is to offend the person, whomever it is, on the other end of the phone.

Dude called and asked for our owner. I told him he's not available. I asked him how I could help him. He asked if our owner was still the owner. I told him yes and that I can help him. I told him to take us off the list b/c our owner is not interested. He said not interested in what? I said whatever you're selling b/c it's a solicitation. He said "I'm a business man and it's not a solicitation b/c if it was, he wouldn't be calling." He said he would call back and ask for the owner and hung up. Scam!

Keeps calling asking for the human resource department of office manager. I told him we don't have a human resource department and the office manager is out on short term leave but everyday a coupkle times a day they keep calling and asking for the human resource depart and the office manager. I tell the same answer everyday. It's really annoying. When I ask their name they won't tell me. When I ask whaqt it is in referance to they won't tell me.

Says they're from "RGA Group". VERY RUDE. Called before wanting the office manager, I told him she was out on vacation (which she was) and he said that I was lying. Called again a few weeks later and said that I was wasting his time by not allowing him to bother the office manager with whatever garbage he was trying to sell. Total do***ebag.

It's AFLAC calling
