Have u heard of the DO NOT CALL LIST... THAT MEANS NO TELEMARKETING CALLS AT A PLACE OF BUSINESS... DO U UNDERSTAND LADY??

Me, you are a transparent hoot. Shill is another acurate term. You are just a little puppet on a short string with no support behind you except for empty promises. All for the money. Fool. When Rico unravels the knots, your striped tie will be replaced with a striped suit.

A man calls, won't give his name, asks for my boss by name, I said he was not in, he said then give me his cel phone, I asked what company he was with, he said Integrated Contractors, I say I don't give out cel numbers to sales people and he says I am not selling anything I want to do business with you. I said he should talk to an estimator for a bid, he said to just send him to voice mail.

I just received the same call.  Guys acts like he's a long lost friend.  When I told him my boss was in a meeting, he says "I'm walking out the door and really need to speak with him today."

Got a call asking for boss' name.  Same thing as above wouldn't say what it is regarding said I could take a message they said "no" and hung up.  Have received from a man once and woman 4 times.  They refuse to leave message and are very rude!! I'll remember the number now and won't answer :)

I’ve gotten two calls from this same number.  First was a woman and the second time a man both times asking for my boss by name.  When I asked who was calling they gave me their first name (I don’t remember the woman’s name but, she had an accent.) the man’s name was Sean (with accent, not Irish).  They both told me they where calling from Ed Upton’s office. When I asked what the call was regarding.  The woman just hung up on me. Sean told me it was a sensitive nature and they he would send something to us in the mail. (Maybe there’ll stop calling) 

FYI: Ed Upton is the owner of Aviation Assistance Company, Inc. in the Reno, Nevada area (According to linkedin.com).  When I looked up the company the only one I could find was a new company in the Netherlands.

Woman called asking for my boss. When I asked for her name, she gave me something false.  I asked for the name of her company and she said it was ITA, but when I asked what this company did, she got arugmentative and hung up on me.

caller said their name is Tiara.  I asked her what what company shes from and she said Nataro.  I asked her what this was regarding she said, isnt your boss there to take phone calls.  I told her yes and she said to give him the phone.  I was like well I need to know what this is in regards to so I can let him know.  She just said that he had an appointment with her.  Asked my boss, hes never heard of her and I just hung up the phone.  If its important she will call back.  She never did.  Called her back with the caller ID and its from a company called IPA.

You sound like one of the callers!  Look how quickly you started throwing around vulgar language to make your case.  You have no case and you're an idiot!

I received a call from this number this afternoon.  The individual asked for the owner of company by name.  When he was told that the owner was unavailable, the individual hung up.  I as the owner of the comapny performed a search for the phone number and found out that it belongs to IPA-International Profit Associates (http://www.ipa-iba.com/.

BEWARE!!!!!!
About 2 years ago this company came to my office and told me that they could dramticly improve my profit margins. After two days of peeking and poking into my books, they told me that they could improve my financials by approx 2% for a fee of about $30k.  I politely declined.  Once I declined, the auditor got VERY upset and gave me an Invoice for approx $900.00 which I paid, and he was asked to leave.  Over the past 2 years they (IPA) have contacted me again on various occasions to perform the same service. I have politely told them that I am not interested.  After I decline, they get persistant and ask if they can just drop by our office.  I have told them if they step one foot onto my property, I will call the police and have them arrested for tresspassing.

Stay as far away as possible from these people.  The owner John Burgess is not only a convicted felon, a sexual harraser and a disbarred lawyer. He and his telemarketers prey on small business's.

Hey you guys need to calm the flip down. IPA helps businesses all over North America ... they helped me immensely with my company in improving profit and merging with another company. Just because you read some scumbag's complaints about how he didn't use the services and advice properly doesn't mean s***. There is good, bad and ugly about ALL companies - and believing everything you hear makes you much dumber than the "idiot telemarketers" you speak of. You answer phones for a living. Big deal.

These clowns keep calling asking for the owner by first name.  They try to sound like they are old friends at first, but we are on to them.  Now they have resorted to making up a business name when we ask where they are calling from and what is the call regarding.  They make up a name to match what ever industry they are calling to.  Nice try idiots, we have you figured out.  Every time you call you will be transferred to our fax machine or another one of the idiot telemarketers numbers who calls here.

Received a call from 775-964-4128. Said he was from business today. very slick operator. Did all the talking, and started asking how many employees etc. I started to smell a rat and just hung up. I looked into this further. This Business today company is IPA or International profit Associates. DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM AT ALL. Allegedly, they are been sued in Illinois by the State Attorney general  for deceptive practices. Allegedly they call you first to set up an appointment. This guy says to me, "we have to look at your behavior and your employees behavior regarding the running of the company and to help you make your company more efficient.." Allegedly they send two goons to your business the next day and Allegedly look thru your files all the while showing graphs and the like that will not help or have anything to do with helping your company. Then they come back the next day and hand you a bill for over $250 an hour for three people each that total sometimes over $20K. BUYER BEWARE. Do not give them any info on the company or the boss or what situation you are in.
Please see http://gabriellecusumano.bloghall.com This will help you understand the workings behind this operation. If they pressure you, threaten them with calling your States and Illinois States Attorney General and they will back off. Make sure you record the conversations so the FBI can go after them also. I hope this helps

get a life Marcia Stoker

I am Marcia Stoker. And if you don't put the owner on now there'll be problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1@(*$&@($*&

He said his name was Joe Thomas from Integrated Contracting--was acting very friendly and familiar which was amazing because usually they are so rude.  Wanted the bosses cell phone number.  Yeah right.  He can call back until the end of time--he will never get through.

A woman called and asked for my boss, I told her that he was down in the factory, and she told me to page him (not asked - she told me)I asked her name and what the call was regarding - She told me Marcia Stoker with IPA Mfg and again very rudely wanted me to page him. - I put her on hold and asked my supervisor to take the call - Marcia Stoker hung up.

Caller was Nathan Brown asking for the owner by name.  I immediately recognized this type of call.  I asked for his name and company, he told me his name and was very rude and asked me is he in or not?  I again asked for the name of his company and he yelled at me "you haven't answered my question".  I yelled right back, you are asking for the owner and you haven't answered my question, I need to know what company you are calling from.  He said, well I am the owner of this company and hung up.  These same people have called here over and over with an east coast number, but now they seem to have a new local number.

THIS PERSON KEEPS CALLING ASKING FOR A CERTAIN PERSON THEN HANGS UP WHEN TOLD THAT PERSON IS NOT IN .  THIS IS A BUSINESS AND i AM REPORTING THEM TO THE PHONE COMPANY FOR HARRASEMENT.

THIS WOMAN CALLS AND ASKS FOR THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY AND WHEN TOLD HE IS UNAVAILABLE AND ASKED WHO IS CALLING SHE GETS REALLY IRATE AND SAYS IT'S A PERSONAL BUSINESS CALL AND HANGS UP.  VERY VERY RUDE PERSON

Our company has received several calls from this number.  The person calling (Marcia Stoker?) would not leave the name of the company she's calling from and would hang up when I pursued it.  I called the number back and found this number to be associated with International Profit Associates (http://www.ipa-iba.com/).  We have supposedly been added to their do not call list.  Time will tell.

a lady called & asked for my husband but would not leave any message & then hung up when asked for info.  Tried calling the number back & no answer & after 10 rings it just hung up.
