Received a call from what I think is this guy. Came up as private number asked me if I was the owner by name, I answered yes then proceeded to mumble some things that I could not understand. He then said he would take me bungee jumping in San Diego and that I sounded busy then hung up. Very strange, I'm located in Michigan.

This idiot has called my office several times asking the same thing, can I speak to the owner, ...., I then ask if I can help him, he again says he wants to speak to the owner..., I then he rudely said..."Have A GOOD DAY" and hung up on me. I wish he'd quit calling cause he's just down right aggravating.
I think I'm gonna watch for his number now and just not answer.
Caller: 858-598-2902

The caller sounded like a young girl.  She said she was a telemarketer, laughed and hung-up.

This idiot has called my office several times asking the same thing, can I speak to the owner, ...., I then ask what he wants and he keeps asking are you the owner..., I told him to quit calling and then he laughs and says I don't have to quit calling cause your a business and then he began to insult my family and thats when I hung up.  I've reported it to the phone company and they don't do anything.  Whatever they try to sell just hang up.

Called when I was out. Left no message. Could be a debt collector.

Some woman called at 2:46PM Central time and asked how the weather is in Illinois. Then she said I should come out to San Diego so we can go bungee-jumping. She ended by saying, "loser", then hanging up. Not the strangest call I ever received, but it's on the list.

From the posts, these people have way too much time to waste wanting to know how the weather is and to come to San Diego & go bungee jumping.  Not weird....dumb.

GOT  A CALL JUST NOW FROM ABOVEM BISHOP AS WELL ASKING FOR THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY I ADVISED WAS NOT IN. OH LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE TOO BUSY.........

got unknown name  with this number called just now..I did not answer...don't have time for this crap..too many dogs to groom

just had the bunji jumping phone call.  very weird.  this time by a woman.

Called and I didn't answer it, let it go to VM.  They didn't leave a message.  Glad I checked it out here before I answered!!  Thanks 800notes.com!!

Same basic thing, no profanity though, and didn't give his name.  Said I sounded busy and he'd try back.  Strangest sales job I've ever heard.

Got call today.  They don't clearly ID themselves until it's time to make a sale and they always have some "personal gimmick" to make a connection, but yes, this is good 'ole VPI.  They are a strong-armed operation pushing promo items like company pens, etc., etc..  They have my number from the old days.  This is an operation that the internet is slowly reducing to embers, but they are still pesty.  Hang up on them.

I keep getting a call from this number and the guy is very cheerful.  Then he says out of the blue "Come on out to San Diego and I'll take you bungee jumping."  He then hangs up.

I have received calls from this guy making jokes too. He's a telemarketer trying to sell pens with your company name on them. Annoying though.
I'm in Phoenix,AZ

Caller hung up when we answered the phone.  Based on what I read here, I'd blacklist the number, but I always try and verify by calling back.  They thought they called me.  I said "I called you...", then asked, "who are you?"  They shot back, "who are you?" and for a second I thought it was an echo.  Duh.  That was about as good as the conversation got.

This number is now blacklisted on our phone system.

JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM THE SAME # THIS TIME ASKING FOR CANDY. SO I JUST SAID YES IM CANDY. THEN HE PROCEEDED TO SAY HE WAS FROM A COMPANY THAT MAKES PENS AND PUTS SLOGANS ON THEM. HE RATTLED OFF SOME SLOGANS THEN WHEN I ASKED WHERE HE WAS CALLING FROM HE SAID SAN DIEGO AND WHEN I SAID IM NOT CANDY HE SCREAMED PROFANITIES AT ME AND HU

GOT  A CALL JUST NOW FROM A JIM BISHOP AS WELL ASKING FOR THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY I ADVISED WAS NOT IN. THEN HE STARTED YELLING AT ME CALLING ME A NASTY MAN AND A TOUGH GUY. I AM NOT A MAN NOR DO I SOUND LIKE ONE. I ALSO JUST THINK THE CALL WAS INAPPROPRIATE.

I got this call and he asked for the owner, which is me, by their first name.  I said "who is this" and they again asked for the owner.  I again asked "who is this" and they said "Manny from VPI"  and I said, "what is VPI?" and they again asked for the owner and I hung up.  Rude, stupid attempt at telemarketing.

Got the same call as above. He knew my first name and city. Invited me to bungee jump in San Diego. I didn't laugh at his joke and after a few beats of silence he said goodbye and repeated my first name. WEIRD!

Called mid morning, breathing on phone, asked hello twice then phone made weird noise.

Strange guy. I answer my cell, he says, "Hey there, J, how's (names my town) treatin' you?"    Hmmmm... I decide to be nice-- I think it's a sales call and I try to apply the golden rule. I say, "Fine, thank you. May I ask who's calling?" He says, "Jim Bishop, hey if you ever want to come out here to San Diego, I'll take you bungee jumping   HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH!"  I'm stunned into silence, I'm just not quick with the comeback remark. So the phone is silent for a beat or two then he says, "That's mean," and hangs up. Because he gave me a name I kept thinking maybe I knew this guy from way back...I couldn't come up with anything, so here I am.

When he gave me his name, he did it it a quick and quiet way-- not like he had to make one up, but almost like it was irrelevant. I don't know what that means, if anything, and I imagine I'm reading something into it, but it makes me feel like either it is his name, or its his buddy's name.

I'm on the east coast, if he called from San Diego, it was about 7:30 am.  weird.

This is the wierdest call I have ever received.  He asked for a guy who used to work at the company that he thought was the owner and then when I told him he wasn't ever the owner he got upset with me and asked who the current owner was, after I told him he asked me to speak with him and he happened to be out with a client and then he proceeded to pretend cry on the otherside of the phone.  Wow....
