Caller ID read, NBR PROMOTIONS. She gave no introduction or even a hello, just asked if the Owner was in. I told her he owned twenty-six different locations, so I'd never met him. She thanked me and abruptly hung up.

As a side note, if I haven't had a notification to speak to you, I will not be handing you over to the owner. That's the person who pays me. I'm not going to waste his time because you were too lazy to check and see what his name was.

Don't be stupid. If you're going to be a lying scammer, at least be a convincing one.
