Anyone want to follow through with this call?

I rush to the phone, and the voice mail beat me, missed it by half a second, sheew.

Check the caller-id, its Idearc Media Co.

Why is NO, not a good enough answer for these arse clowns. They are not getting my money!


Check the message, goes like this.

Hi ah, this is a message for Crow Contracting.
My name is Frank Hartman, I am trying to get in touch with you guys in regards to customers I have coming to me in the ah, ah, Indianapolis area. They are looking for a ah contract, cons, ah constuction company, I'm sorry, and ah, wanted to see if are you are able to take on any additional work.
Can you give me a call please when you get this message, you can reach me at 972-714-7510, again thats 972-714-7150 thank you, bye bye.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Geeez, they can't even leave a phony, misleading message without choking.

As Mike Finley would say, "Douche bags"

Funny thing is I get these calls, and tell them no, and they just keep calling.

One quick and simple google search, and its a BIG red flag!

"Idearc complaints"

http://www.google.com/search?q=idear...rlz=1I7ADBS_en

Anyways, if someone on here needs some additional work, here you go!



guarantee , when I do get to the phone, they aren't going to like it!

You missed a golden opportunity.

They are restructuring after bankruptcy - probably can get a full page for $40/month.

And all the tire-kickers that come along with it...

We have to use them, the yellow pages are still used quite often by the 55+ crowd

I don't know who's worse? This guy today, or the yellowpages.com homie that called last Friday and actually hooked me on the phone for a few seconds.

The homie never did say who he was with, introduced himself as Mike, as if I had known him for years, lol
He mentioned both att, and yellowpages.com, through out his ramble of a sales pitch. I asked him? So who exactly are you with a or b? He says thats us, were the same company,...

I was thinking really hard how to get off the phone.
So nicely, I just told him I had to leave, and had to get off the phone.

What was I thinking being nice???

No more of that! I've had it, with these cons!!!

Wow, I'd almost call them ethical.

Most of the time these types leave nice ambigous messages like this:

"Uh hi, yes, can you call Brandon D Bag @ 555-555-5554 about your remodeling services"

Then you call and you find out it's an outfit like them.

I might have fell for it, if;

1. I didn't have caller-id, and

2. They sent a smooth talker, that could sell ice to an eskimo!

Up to the point where I figured out, they are only trying to pry into my pocket.

Instead they sent the b man, that hadn't memorized his script, and was stumbling everytime he looked at what he was trained to say!
