So a phone call comes in. On my business line. The number shows "Unknown." Now, typically I do not answer these, I let them go straight to voice mail. I should have done that. The guy starts off with "I saw your website." I reply "OK, which one?" He states "The Herbalife one." This goes on for a moment while I try to figure out exactly WHAT he is calling for. After stating he was interested in knowing if I train distributors out of the state of Florida he then tried to sell me his advertising!
Mind you, this man gives me NO NAME, NO contact info, and No company name. He goes on to say they do over 40 publications like USA TODAY etc and do full ads. For $290 for a year it will reach 4.6 million people a month. People who want to start their own business. They promote to boaters and yacht owners. At this point my eyes are rolling. He then says I can do a 3 month trial for $150. A quarterly Fall promotion reaches another 7,500 people. The papers go out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
He then asks "So can I sign you up?" LMAO!!!!!!! I explain that I would like more information, an email or website and he says he can put the trial cost to $99. I told him at this time I am not interested but would like more information. "OK well call me if you are interested later." Then he hung up. Still leaving me with NO information.
Lesson learned: Don't answer the UNKNOWN call. Next reminder to ALL: NEVER EVER EVER sit there and give your information to someone you are not face to face with or that YOU did not call yourself. Scammers are EVERYWHERE. Bad business practice and I am rather appalled.
