"Nicole" called again for my Boss- still cannot pronounce his name even though she has been placed into his voicemail countless times at this point. apparently she does not bother to listen. She asked for my boss by first name, and since we have several by that name I ask for "which one". she replies with his last, and says she is "calling back" and "is he in?" I replied with "you are calling him back? did you speak to him today?" (Knowing full well she had not because he is out of town) and she was honest and said "No I didn't speak to him, is he available?" (Very Pushy, this Lady) I said hold on a moment and put her into his voicemail. :-)

Called pretty much first thing this morning- claimed his name was "Dave Toft"and he was "Business Today" and he had "reps in our area doing surveys..." bla bla bla...i looked at the number and saw it was the same number that had called 3 times yesterday, and never left a message.  I told "Dave" this and he responded with "oh really?!" and I said "Yes" and he replied "ok, then nevermind" I said "ok. thanks" and hung up the phone.  Let us see how many times they call us today...

Got 3 calls today (so far! it is only 425pm, so we will see) Girl named "Nicole" calling for my Boss, I ask her company name and purpose of call- I forget what company she claims she is from...she said it is regarding "information he requested- is he available?!? (I hate when telemarketers do this- I find it rude and pushy and ver arrogant) so, on the first call (at 1032am) I actually tried his line and he did not pick up, so I asked if she wanted voice-mail, she responded yes so I dropped her in.  She called again at 226pm, and i recognized the number and name when I asked her, I asked if my Boss had called back and she said "no" and I asked if she had left a message to  which she responded "yes" and later I found out she had NOT in fact left a message, i told her that if my Boss was interested, he would return the call, and she says " there is nothing to be interested in. Is he is in the office?!" I told her to hold on and put her directly into his voice-mail and then went back to confirm that not only did he NOT know her, the number or anything about it, but that she had not left him a message ANY of the times she had called. I hope she calls tomorrow so I can have some fun.

Sales call.  

Calls multiple times per day for "the owner of the company".  Caller ID says "Business Today".  

And the call goes a little like this "ya, hi, ya.  Owner of the business please", me "sorry the owner is not available would you like his voicemail?", "oh, that's too bad, sure that sounds great thank you so much".  Really?  Do sales people not have better skills than this?

I did exactly what you suggested when my company started receiving the calls from that 315 number. The client services rep said it would be taken care of today.
BTW -IPA has changed their name or been bought out by another firm.

In my case the caller SANG the word "Honey" ("haaaaaaah - nee") and hung up.

this number called my place of employment asking for my boss. my boss wasnt in so i asked for his name and number to call back and he said robert but wouldnt give me a phone number. he asked for my name as well. when i told him my name he started saying how cool of a name it was and where i was from. the conversation started to turn a weird way when he wanted my last name so he could look me up on facebook. at that point i told him i'd let my boss know he had called and hung up. i was very disturbed by this so i googled this number not knowing other people have had a problem too!

Called my place of business and asked for the owner, my boss.  Asked her who was calling and she told me her name was Leslie and my boss would know.  He didn't and told her so and that we were not interested and hung up.  She had the nerve to call back and, this time used automated attendant to get directly to my boss' voicemail.  Told my boss I was rude when she lied!

Said he was calling for some company and that Barry would like to stop by tomorrow to discuss increasing my profits, etc..

I said I wasn't interested.

He started getting rude. I told him I was driving, I'm not interested and I hung up.

This caller left a message on my machine; the only word they said was VOICEMAIL in this stupid sing-songy voice.

I have no idea who's number this is and dont even recognise the area code

We got the call today and left a breathing message. Hard, heavy breathing on the machine and NO Message. Creepy,to say the least.

They called my company to set up an appointment. The man who called was telling, not asking, about them coming. Then he transferred me to a man who was supposed to record and verify our agreement.
I said, "Wait a minute. I can't expose my company to someone I don't know. Send me some information about you. I'll discuss it with my board and let you know."
He said, "OK, I'll send you some information." and then hung up.
The next day another guy called. I said, "Someone from your company already called. And he hung up on me."
The guy said, "I won't hang up."
But as soon as I asked him to send me information about their company, he hung up.

I am a receptionist and received this call to my business, the man on the other end was very very friendly, almost too much so, and want to speak to my boss, who does not go by his first name! Knew this was a scammer. Hang up!

Just called my place of business, said is name is Mark Phillips calling from the office of Andrew Rogers & was rude- wanted to speak to Alan, I said which Alan & he said is he in & I asked who's calling - sent him straight to VM.   don't mess w/ me - you will not get through!

He called me back again after I said I wasn't interested and hung up and said He lives in my town and will be stopping by to tell the owner "How rude you is"

I get calls all the time from this number.  IPA-IBA are business consultants that will not take no for an answer.
website is http://www.ipa-iba.com/

These people continually call our business with the same tactics:  refuse to say the company name, claim it is personal call for our president, and pretend they know him. The business is called International Profit Associates (IPA-IBA)and can be reached at 1-800-531-7100.  Ask for client services and tell them you are being harassed and to put your number on the internal do not call list.  They seemed very cooperative.

I obviously aggravated the hell out of him when I asked who he was with.  Yay.

We got the same call, unsolicited, they keep calling asking to speak with the owner.  They wont disclose why, very cryptic - referencing some business matter their following up on.

A person with horrible speaking skills (sounds like grunts and 1 syllable "words")  calls and says he is calling about a "personal business matter" and needs to speak with the owner. Then he says he is calling from "IPA".
I would LOVE for this company to be reported. They are unprofessional to say the least and border on harrassment. I told them I will be reporting their # and company which made them hang up on me and call right back.
