Received a very professional call at our family business from someone "introducing" a co-worker who proposed to be looking for my 84 year old father. Stated he had business to discuss with him. When he spoke with my dad, he made an appointment for his partner, who "happened" to be traveling in the area to stop by to discuss this "business". My dad had honestly no idea he had even agreed to an appointment, much less knew remotely what it was about. When the traveling partner called to get directions to our office, he identified himself as simply "John", so I requested his last name, and he gave me "Carter". THEN I caught his voice because they've been here before. This actually is the second time I've had to deal with these people. The traveling associate appears to be around 65 to 70 yrs old and came to our office a few years ago to try and talk my elderly father out of a few thousand dollars. And when I walked by dad's office and heard this, I stopped and listened a moment before I escorted the "gentleman" to the front door. I thought I'd made it clear not to return to our machine shop, but I must not have. I told Mr. "Carter" I didn't think he remembered me, but I sure remembered him and I told him to leave my family alone. These people are leaches looking for easy money from elderly people. The older "associate" comes across as having a common element because he's in the same age arena, but make no mistake, these people are good ... and VERY persistent! BEWARE!!
