I do phone number searches all night where I work. I'm looking for phone numbers of companies that owe us money. They think that if they give us a bad number they can get away with not paying. Not on my watch!
So, I find a number and call it to verify it's the company I'm looking for. The conversation goes like this:
Him: Thank you for calling (company I'm looking for)
Me: Good evening, is accounts payable or the owner in?
Him: Who is calling?
Me: I'm calling from (company that your company owes money to)
Him: Oh, you have the wrong number, they are no longer in business.
Me: Right, okay have a nice night.
So, I note the phone number I called is good and add it to the dialer for calls. Did he really think I'm stupid enough to fall for that after he told me I was calling the right company in his opening spiel?
People just never learn to not insult my intelligence. I take offense that they think I'm as stupid as they are and do my best to make sure they have a bad week. So, just don't it, okay?
