(312) 489 in Chicago, IL

The caller had a strong Indian accent. He wanted to verify with me name of owner, business address, number of employees, type of products sold, etc. I asked him what it was for and he said it was for an Arizona Directory. (Since my business is in Arizona I assumed he wasn't up to anything improper. But now days with identity theft on the rise, one can't be too careful.)

They did ask a lot of questions about the company BUT I answered them. Because all the questions he asked were things he could of looked up as basic information on the internet. I was polite - he was polite. He did not pitch me anything or try to sell or get any personal information about me or the company. I do not usually go along with these type of calls but what's the difference between someone getting your business's info via web vs asking directly. My only complaint is that I did not get a clear answer to what the information (that they could of found online themselves) was for.

Refused to answer my questions with any detail, but kept asking increasingly detailed questions about me and my company. I advised them that all the information was on our website, but they insisted on confirming with a person so that 'their' records would be correct. I asked if their records of us were from an active marketing account we have with them, and received a non-answer with more questions immediately following. I smelled a sales pitch coming, and hung up.

Asked lots of information about our company, including amount of employees, verifying information found online, and then proceeded to ask employee names and job titles. No name or explanation given. Recommend politely declining to respond and hanging up.

The jerk that called was rude and could barely speak English. Hung up after asking if our address was correct.

called wanting information about our company first they don't speak English very well couldn't understand anything from this call......The best way I believe to keep your company and your personal safe is to NEVER answer questions over the phone

When I asked where they were calling from caller started from the beginning, I interrupted and asked again name and where they were calling from and the same reply was received. Person spoke with a distinct Indian accent that was very difficult to understand.

too many calls from this number

Claimed to be the "Illinois Business Directory". I heard about this type of call before where telemarketers ask to verify business information. With this on the back of my mind, when she asked if this was the name of my business in her thick, indian accent, I told her no. She was obviously thrown off. I kept questioning who she was and what kind of "directory" it was, and where I could "find the directory" and she couldn't answer anything. She hung up.

Horrible I kept telling them I can not give them information and she would refuse to get off the phone. I kept telling her I can have the manager call back and she refused. I informed her to call corp number and she refused. I informed her I am not confirming anything on this and I told her multiple times I was not feeling ok with the call and she did not care. I WAS SO MAD at her and finally informed her at the end of the call that I am not confirming anything I said and hung up the phone
