Nobody is there when I answer the phone.

Same situation -Nobody is there when I answer the phone.

Caller id read Maxim.  Not easy to find info on the company, but they are: http://www.maximgrp.com/growthconf/pres_info.php peddling "investment presentations".  All *very* reputable, I'm sure.  I'd invest/buy stock from people who won't identify themselves, wouldn't you?

A Ryan from Maxim (per caller ID) with number of 212-895-3852 (per caller ID) continues to call IMA, asking for Don Harrison.  Will not leave information for Don to call back, stating "will send an email."  If this is a sales call, we would appreciate Ryan leaving his contact information, and what his call is regarding to pass along to Don. If this is a sales call and not pertinent to IMA, please take us off your call list.

Call comes into the office; caller says "Yeah, is [my boss' first name] in?" (This is not the shortened version of my boss' first name that all his first-name-basis friends call him--setting off my "telemarketer radar".)  I say he's not in (true) and may I ask who's calling.  "Mike" asks when I expect the boss.  I tell him I don't know and ask to take a message. Mike says, "Will he GET the message?" I say, "If you LEAVE a message, he'll GET the message."  Mike says he'll try him back later and hangs up.  Guess who's NOT getting through when/if he calls back???
