Well if he had a Scottish accent then maybe he was this Adam Smith:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Smith

But considering he died in 1790, my first question would be: "Where are you calling from?"

This company calls me everyday at least 4 times a day for the pass 2 or 3 months asking for my 10 year olds son and says hes been pre approved for a $8000 loan. WOW!!! I have registered my number with National Reg. and block every number they call from. He says his name is Adam Smith what a joke!!!
