Some man called from this number 813-868-1669 asking who was the man in charge of maintenance.  I asked what company he was calling from and he replied Commercial???  I usually get cold calls more then several times a day and he is one.  I put him on hold and he hung up.  Which is one of my favorite things to do is leave them on hold! :)

This number has been calling our company off and on for over a year...RUDE doesn't cover it when you won't give them the name or number of your maintenance manager...something going on with that place....stop calling.

unwanted caller

Solicitor called my work asking for me by name; had previously called because she mentioned two co-workers by name. She was wanting to send me a free cooler to my home address. I explained that I did not receive packages at home; she verified my business address (which she had correct) and said she would ship the cooler via UPS to my attention, along with fluorescent light bulbs. When I explained that I did not want or need any light bulbs, she hung up on me.

After my employee got a harassing phone call yesterday, I called the company and spoke with the operations manager, Jack, and he said he would figure out who was the caller and take action.  He said the calls should stop, but if they didn't, to call back and ask for him directly.  Seemed sincere.  We'll see if he is successful.

the man calls and first of all, sounds like me may be one of our clients.  Then when I ask what this pertains to, he asks who handles our maintenance.  I tell him it is handled by the folks who we rent from, he starts getting a bit huffy, (as if talking to the front desk is beneath him) and asks for their number.  When I tell him that I do not have that info, he gets a little bit nastier tone of voice and says, well give me the name of that company and maybe I can look it up myself.  He just about lost it when I told him I did not have that infomation either.  I asked if he would like to speak with the owner and he replied in a fairly smart assed tone, yeah, maybe I SHOULD do that.
So, I put him on hold and typed the number into google, and he hung up.  Not a very good representative of his company and definitely not a good sales person if he doesn't know that good manners will get him a lot further at the front desk than condescension.

Please quit calling 405-222-0751 and asking for Ernie. He is our yard foreman. He does not order.
The man who calls is quite rude and I don't have time to deal with it. Thank you.

This person called our business, yelled at me and hung up. SALES PERSON, VERY RUDE

SCAM!!  Some sort of lighting company that claims to be finishing up their "Summer Promotion" and want to make sure you are taking advantage of the deals.  They will grossly over-charge you and there will be no chance to return the product.  Don't agree to let them send you anything!!

I GOT THIS CALL ON MY COMPANY CELL PHONE, ANSWERED WITH MY NAME AND "MAY I HELP YOU". THE LADY ANSWERED "BOY, N----, YOUR A HARD PERSON TO TRACK DOWN. DO YOU STILL PURCHASE THE LIGHT BULBS AND SUPPLIES AT YOUR COMPANY?' I EXPLAINED MY POSITION AND THAT NEVER WAS MY JOB. SHE WENT ON A FISHING TO FIND OUT WHO'S RESPONSIBILITY IT WAS. I TOLD HER I HAD NO IDEA. SHE RESPONDED "THANKS A LOT HON" AND HUNG UP. SHE NEVER SAID WHO SHE WAS WITH.

Just saw this number on my caller ID.  I never answer a call from a strange area code, so I didn't get to hear their scam crap.

Persistant , pushy sales person (Drew - if that's his real name) cold called from this number. Asked for person in maintenance or whoever changes our light bulbs. Was outright rude & condescending when I refused to provide name of individual. Sad that business must resort to these tactics for new sales.

Very rude person calling! Would like him to STOP calling our office!

confused sounding caller called wanting me to help with getting her in touch with whomever is responsible for maintenance.

Do not click this link they are trying to get you to click the website so they can put malware on your computer

Exactly the same happened to me!
Thanks for your post. Now i'm sure it was an scam

Yeah, I think so.  The person that just called me from this number was rather rude.

Hung up when I answered, strange.  Are they trying to harass people?  They called again a few minutes later, 3 times back to back.

Just got the same call as Cisco Kid.  When I asked "what type of maintenance", was told "light bulbs"...  "So you're trying to sell something?"  "No, we're doing a promotion and want to get you in our catalog..."  To which I interrupted with "So you ARE trying to sell something!" and hung up.  

Makes a mockery of the the company's first post above!

scam

Very similar to what CiscoKid has posted. The woman wanted to speak with the "Gentleman in charge of the maintenance division." When I said he was on the phone and asked if I could help, she said, "No, I have to speak withthe person in charge of ordering and supplies." Funny enough, that is EXACTLY what I'm in charge of.
She wanted to correct a mis-delivery and she could ship it faster to my home address- what hours would I be home for delivery.
I kept trying to interrupt her to ask what I had ordered, but she just said "Long flourescent light bulbs." When I asked for my PO # she said, "Don't you want this free cooler?"
I don't know what a free cooler had to do with light bulbs, but then she tried to change what I had ordered, now there were small, personal sized bulbs. She didn't have a PO nor a Vendor # and when I asked for those 2 items she snapped: "I guess you ain't getting a free cooler then." And hung up on me.

Got a phone call today from a fellow who began with, "I am wondering if you could help me."   He then proceeded to ask for the "the guy in charge of maintenance..who is that again?".   I told him the maintenance man was not in the office, then he asked for his name and cell phone number, which I refused to give him.  I Googled the phone number and saw the CLC Bulbs notice on a couple of sites.  I googled their name and clicked on the link to their home page, and got redirected to one of those fake malware/virus scan popup notices.  If you get a call from their number, don't answer it.  It is obviously a scam.
