Caller ID: GOOD ACCOUNTANT.

This number called the office moments this morning. The name alone made me think it was a telemarketer, so I chose to let the answering machine take the call.

The caller left a message similar to those in previous posts. Those posts combined with my message makes the messages sound like they come from a fill-in-the-blank script (I've boldfaced the items that seem to vary from caller to caller). Our message was from Luke (extension 1066). He wanted an accountant for a UN-Designated Humanitarian organization that was a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

During the message, I also heard what sounded like boiler room noise in the background--making me initially question if this was a phone version of an advance fee fraud email. That's not exactly the image a potential client would want to convey for legitimate work. Back on point, why wouldn't an international non-profit engage the services of a firm specializing in global, non-profit accounting as opposed to contacting seemingly-random businesses across the country? Once I replayed the message, I deleted it.

The New York Corporate Database has an entry for Good Accountants, LLC out of Wappingers Falls, New York.

Called and left message saying he had clients who owned a manufacturing company near me and they were looking for a part-time controller.  A cold call is not how a company grossing $6M a year would look for a controller.

Called and left message that local plastic surgeon was in need of an accountant. Sounds like a scam.

a chummy speaking woman left this message: Elise Shulman said she has a very successful plastic surgeon with multi-million dollar sales looking for someone to take over their accounting and tax. Call back at 516-274-4900 extension 10 6 4.
I've looked up the area code/exchange and located it at Carle Place, NY (Long Island, where it should be). This is north side of LI. Caller ID says Good Accountant. I found a company called Good Accountants located in Lynbrook, NY. This is on south side of LI. It's about 10 miles SSW of Carle Place. Still seems odd to call South Jersey.
