Got a one-day break from the 4-times-a-day calls. Answered yesterday and spoke with "Curtis" purportedly from JDA (see earlier post). But now a day later got another call from same number 830-637-7238 so it starts again. I answer and this time it is “Kevin Murphy” (with an Indian accent) from IMTS. I challenged him that yesterday a call from this same number claimed to be a company called JDA and now he claims it is IMTS. Went round and round about whether it was from this number and how that could be (as if I didn’t know). A number of times he attempted to start his survey, “Well, can I just ask you a few questions…” but I kept asking for a website I could look at before answering questions and a phone number or email address to call him back. He told me the company could be found at IMTS.COM. Fine, I’ll check it out and give him a call back when I know more about IMTS. All told I burned six minutes of his time as I would explain I could not answer any questions about our company until I could confirm he is who he claims to be and have opportunity to look into exactly who IMTS is. Yeah it burned six minutes of my time too, but it felt just a little bit good to hear him get frustrated that he basically couldn’t get past the fact that he was actually lying to me about who he is.
