Had a guy named * call a while back and pretend he was interested in listing his home. After 30 seconds of his questioning, I realized he was a salesman and I immediately cut him off and asked if it was a sales call because I was about to meet up with a client soon and was not in a position to have that conversation. After he insisted on letting me hear his pitch since "I obviously had time to talk since I answered the phone," I hung up. He then called me back 5 minutes later and I asked him what company he worked for and to put me on the do not call list. He said he was with Yodle and immediately hung up. I called him back and was rerouted to another salesman * or * and asked what company they were with and they said Outbound Engine. I placed a complaint and asked for them to never call me again.
Im sure they may have a decent product, but falsely stating you're with another company to cover your@$$ is unethical. Watch out if you get calls like this.
