Re:I'm changing the header on this thread...
I am on the dreaded "accredited investor" list. Ergo, I gits me lots of calls .. You name what they're peddlin' ... I gits me the call. Normally, it simply shows as some number from Texas, Florida, California ... or get this ... Ontario, Canada.
In any event, I frequently take the call and explain that I truly appreciate the call, but I'm probably the world's worst prospect for whatever they're peddling. Again, I always thank them for the call and let them know that they have one of the toughest jobs in the universe. Personally, I'd rather be cleaning out the old fashioned type of hog house than be a telephone solicitor.
The "unknown" or "unavailable" is usually some fancy-pants that thinks they're too impotent (missing "r" was purposeful) to let others know their number ... even though THEY'RE the one that placed the damned call. I NEVER answer those. My voice mail states, "If you expect a return call, leave your name and number .. and if I feel like it ... I'll return the call, if I ever get around to it ..."
So, do you think that it was your "second wife" putting someone up to it? I mean ... you have to be fun to razz.
