Will these people ever stop calling? They are so rude. One of "them" called yesterday and asked to speak to my boss by name. When I asked what it was regarding he said "I spoke to HER yesterday and had a quick question." "I told him that is impossible, because the HER is a HIM." Needless to say he was speechless for a few brief seconds and said well may I speak to him. "Couldn't help but laugh out loud. I always try to embarrass them or piss them off. ALL I HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH ARE JERKS!!!!!

I received a call from these people @ a very inappropriate hour, say 8:00 or 9:00 pm Central, apparently one Brenda Powers (Powell?). I received no message, only a call back number. Upon returning the call, there was no answer, only a voice mail message. My father works for the FCC, and everyone receiving  calls from these people have every right in the world to file a harassment complaint against them. Four people have access to my cell number. How this chick got it, I don't know. But the fact of the matter is this; you're protected, whether you owe bills, you've signed up for online offers, or whatever. You have the right to be protected against harassment in this manner. Period. I would suggest contacting your local authorities and filing a formal complaint of harassment. And if you're unemployed, you have every right to contact a lawyer if you have no means to pay outstanding bills bc harassment of this nature is HIGHLY illegal...check out Clark Howard and any disability attorney. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE has the right, or has ever HAD the right to abuse the privilege of calling people at all hours, or threaten them in any way!!!

I personally have an ailing mother, and my father-in-law is on his death bead. I don't need idiot a-holes calling me at all hours, one of the few times I'm allowed to get some rest, calling me to bother me with bill collection issues, or with telemarketing BS!!!! Who's with me?????!

telemarketers will make more money than you this year. you answer phones for living. big deal.

Call plays music and then goes into a religious prayer and message. I believe this is coming from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I have called back only to get an answering machine that says if you want to leave a message, press 1.  I have asked to remove me but they continue to call and the calls come at 1am.

Ask to speak the owner, I said he is not in they asked if he is the only owner.  I ask are you calling from Chicago Illnios she said no. which is a lie because the caller id says chicago IL

This bozo, black sounding "brother" called me 3 times in a row and was a disgrace to his kind and his company. He was RUDE, arrogant and actually threatened me to settle this face to face! He's such a loser that he probably dosen't even own a car!. Man, no wonder outsourcing to India is so populer! At least they are POLITE!

This number calls our company constantly - always asks for the boss by name and does nothing but hangs up when I say he's not here. Then I found this site indicating that this number calls all kinds of people doing the same thing. SO screw this - They called just now, asked for my boss again, and I said yeah hi what can I do for you. He sure as hell had no idea he wasn't talking to my boss. Anyways all he went on to do was pitch me on getting his company involved in maximizing my business potential. WITH MY EXISTING BASE. haha not gonna happen. All I did was spend about 4 more minutes on the phone with this guy than my boss would have bothered to. I shouldn't be so polite. So my advice on dealing with this group of clowns is to pretend you're the boss. Shoot them down. Say bye-bye. Later!

Received this call today asking for a guy who used to work here over 3 years ago.  I told them they have the wrong number and so they asked to speak to the president.  After refusing them information and hanging up on them, they called back 6 times in a row saying that I was very rude.  I told them I didn't care and to stop calling this number.  This is bunch of telemarketers who are not educated enough to find a real job so they harass people for a living.

I met with the guy after the same M.O. above. definately bullies trying to get you to agree to hire them to review your company and save you money. most likely a scam. told them I was not interested and they keep calling

Each day I get these people calling, sometimes 1-3 daily. They are breaking the law, as I have told them each time not to call back again. The last two times that I spoke to them, I was threatened by them. One was a female who I can safely say, her behavior rhymes with "HUNT". She stated that she was just transfered to my bosses mailbox but it was full and wanted his ext.number. I said for starters you need to give me: your name, a viable company phone #, viable Company name and why you are calling. Then I stated, after you give me this info, I need the name of the person who supposedly transfered you to my boss's mailbox. She then said HUM HUM.., no one transfered me, I meant to say I chose the option when I called and it was full. I said Oh Really, For starters the phone did not ring for quite a while, there is no option to go directly to his mailbox, his mailbox is not full, you my dear are a liar, I better not see this callerID again. This "HUNT" then asked for my name, which I said I stated my name when I answered the phone, she said she was going to write a letter and get me fired and that do to be behavior she does not want to do with business with us. I said that is fine, do whatever you want BUT I better not see this phone # again. Lo and behold these law breakers are still breaking the law and are calling daily 1-3 times. The last time a male moron threaten to get me fired and that it is obvious that I "suck" as an employee because I am making my boss loose business and he too will write a letter and get me fired. I said you can do whatever you want, yell, cuss, write your letter but not see this number again.

3/30 @ approx 2:30 p.m. Called asking for the owner of the company by first name, told him he was unavailable and he asked for his cell number and I told him that I was not obligated to give that out then he got angry with me and read me the cell phone number that he had to contact him and I still told him that I was not obligated to confirm that number and told him that if he wanted to try and calling that number to see if it was him and he got angry again.  He then in turn call the cell number that he had and it was the owner of our company and told him that his secretary gave him his cell number, which was not true,  and the owner told him that he was not interested and told him not to call him again.  I tried calling the number back on the caller ID and it said that the mail box for Charles in full.

Called the first time yesterday and asked for me. One of my employees answers and said I was at lunch. He hung up on my employee and was very rude. I checked out the phone number and found this site.  He just called back and my husband answered.
He said he was Mike Jones and asked for me.  My husband told him to loose our number.  There was a long pause and then my husband told him he has a brother in Palatine IL and would come visit him and punch him out.  Mike cussed at my husband and after a few choice words my husband hung up on him.  We shall see it he calls again. Thanks for all the great info!

I called IPA after I left my last message to take us off the list.  Interestingly enough, the web site seem's very professional, but when I called, the receptionist answered and was transfering me to the customer complaint rep.  Just before she did, she started yell "shut-up" to the people in the background, then proceeded to giggle and apologize.  During the transfer you could hear in the background all kinds of noise.  Not your regular noise of telemarketers talking. People goofing around and such.  When I did finally get the rep. I asked him to explain his company, which he did, (same as the web site).  He explained that if your number was every assoociated witha business then it was in their database and that is why they call you.  I told still remove us and he said he would and would send out a letter of confirmation if I gave him my address...  I told him that there was no bother.  
We'll see if they keep call!!

I spoke with a Lela at 1866-538-0668 x 11073.  She said she will put our phone number on a block list.  I still could not get any info on what they want but maybe the calls will stop if you call her.

We get several calls a day from this number demanding my boss or his cell#.  They refused to say what they want.  Extremely pushy and rude.

Got a call from a man named WIll Stevens calling from IPA.  When asked to take a message was very rude & hung up on me.

A women asking for my husbands cell phone number.. When I said no after two times she hung up. I called it back and it said Charles mailbox was full.This number was called before on my phone.

I have received many calls from this number in the past week. She is indentifing herself as Kelly at Richard Hall's office and asks to speak with my boss. When told he is not in and asked if I could take a message, she becomes rude and demands that I either give her his cell phone number or call him on the other line and conference him in because "he is expecting her call". She then demands his voicemail and when I informed her he does not use voicemail she yells in the phone "oh, so you are saying he doesn't have voicemail?"

Gotten a few calls from this outfit.  Caller identified himself as Mike Jones.  Asked me what the biggest challenge was in our business.  I answered "wasting time dealing with telemarketers"

Same thing!  Next time I'm going to tell them my boss just died the other day!  Worked with some other telemarketers!  Haven't heard back from them since!

Male caller called asking to speak to our owner by first name.  When I told him she was unavailable could I take a message, he asked what we sold.  I thought he needed to place an order and explained what tye of business we were.  He then yelled out at someone in the back ground and said he'd call back later.  Shadey.

This guy calls every month and asks for my boss who is owner/president.  He says that he is "Dr. Taylor" and that he just spoke to him and needs to reset an appointment so he needs his cell number.  I don't give out the number ofcourse and ask a number where he can call back and he hangs up.  Dr. Taylor my a**.  And same thing when I take his number of caller ID and call back it says "Charles" mailbox is full.  I'm gonna find this sucker.

Received calls asking for the president of the company by name - said he was our best customer - but is unknown to us and is definitily a harassing telemarketer.

Called asking to talk to the owner.
Very persistant, very vague, very suspisious. Want to come and visit for 5 minutes.
Supposed to come tomorrow at noon.
I will be ready!

We've been getting calls from this company for years, though I don't remember if it was this same number back then. This guy called several times yesterday and, just this last hour, called 4 times wanting to speak with the owner. I think he's under the impression that we're some corporate headquarters which, technically, we are. However; we only have 3-1/2 people in the office, the "half" being the owner who is semi-retired.
    The funny thing is that back in June 2003 they called and set-up a meeting with our boss which resulted with them coming into our business -- invited, sadly -- and "worked" with us to get our business running efficiently. Ironically, this nearly turned us belly-up. We forked over THOUSANDS of dollars and got nothing in return. They're a plague of locusts consuming everything then moving on. If anyone has any ideas on how to block calls like this, PLEASE let us know!

Not only does this person call on a DAILY basis, multiple times, they are also complete liars.  I was asked for the owner by name - he was not in.  The caller then claimed, "Oh, I spoke to him earlier and he gave me his cell number - it's just in my truck though, could you give it to me again?"  Sneaky sneaky.  

The calls are non-stop and yes, they are extremely rude.  Telling me they will wait when the owner is on the phone or with another client.  Then rudely hanging up when I tell him that he may take more than a few moments to get to him.

What a terrible way to do business. Rude and crude to say the best about these people. They call over and over then hang up when the owner is not available. I mean slamb the phone down to heart your ear type of hang up. I have put a block on the number and listed their address and 800 number below. Perhaps we can forward all of our junk mail to this address and overload their call center on the 800 number. (just a thought) What goes around comes around.....

1250 Barclay Blvd
Buffalo Grove, IL 60089

Call 1-800-531-7100

Calls many times and never leaves a message when the owner is not in or ask then to hold. Not just rude but slambs the phone down in my ear. I'm putting a call block on this A_ _ hole.

Calls often and asks for the owner by name, hangs up when she is not in.  Calls again a second time with the same situation.  Waits a few days and repeats.  Will not say what it is in regard to or if someone else can help.  Our owner is a silent owner, they will never find her here!!

This person 'Larry Connors' calls constantly to speak with the owner here and will not tell us what it's regarding and keeps saying 'just tell him Larry is on the phone he'll know what it is about'... he is rude and calls sometimes 4 times in an hour to try to get through - when we tell him he won't get through unless he tells us what it is about he either hangs up or says he'll call back.  QUITE ANNOYING!!
