Over the last two days someone would call the mat asking to speak to the owner (they didn't know my name) my attendants would tell them I wasn't there. They would then leave a message saying they had laundry equipment for sale with an 800 number to call. I call the 800 number and a message says to call a 900 number. I didn't call the 900 number, but I am quite sure if I did I would see a charge on my next phone bill.

I had some scumbag call me like 3 times, out of breath, anxious, telling me hes in my are and wants to meet me to help me save money on my business.

I tell him NO COLD CALLS, send me mail.

Third time he called I told him I am now in fear for my safety, he sounds very suspicious, and if he shows up he should FEAR FOR HIS LIFE as I am an ARMED CITIZEN.

No more calls.... hehe

I think the poor fool was trying to sell excel phone service or something......
