Very rude, obnoxious person wanting to know my assets in stocks and other assets--if we have any. Persisted in trying to get us to use MAXIM. I told him I was notinterested, and that all he was asking was none of his business. He tried to persist, but I hung up. Is this a scam? If this is a legitimate financial business, it really needs to keep a watch on their telemarketers---and in fact, if legitimate and so wonderful, why would the business even to call up people? I think it is a scam.

Missed two calls from 212-895-3825 this afternoon. Now I feel lucky not having answered their calls.

You can call Maxim Group directly and file a complaint with a manager or the Compliance department, especially if someone was rude to you. They are required by law to remove you from their call list if you request it. Just go on their website and call one of the numbers on the "Contact Us" page.

They called me several times at work and at home. Wonder how they got my name?  Strong scripted sales pitch on some IPO.  Finally, I cut it off and asked them to email me a prospectus or something.  She stammered, said it would be sent.  Guess what, nothing sent.

They also call on 212-895-3611.
