FWIW, I find people with money do that more often than those without.
Yeah, the most memorable time this happened to me the guy said "Greg (the Chairman of the Board) said I should talk to you."
I put him on hold, called down to Greg's office and asked his assistant who the guy was. She said "no idea, cold call but it's relevant to your Dept so I gave him your name"
Hung up both calls.
He calls back, "I think we got disconnected"
Said no we did not, I hung up.
"Why did you do that?"
Don't like being lied to, terrible way to start a business relationship, then hung up again.

Guy walks into my office tells my receptionist he works for the salon across the street and do I have a moment for him. My wife and kids have been customers there for years and i'm thinking blue collar tax problem and he can't afford much to get it fixed. sure, c'mon in.
he walks into my office with arm extended holding a business card for some internet marketing bull****. he got half a sentence out and I said 'you don't work for Jon' he says 'I work with them'. no thanks I says, not interested. I was pissed. he won't leave. insists he can help me and starts critiquing my website. I said as clearly as possible 'please don't waste your time or mine, i'm not going to buy anything from you'. he says 'at least let me leave you my card'. 'no thanks, I don't appreciate being lied to about who you are'. he finally walks out pissed and by end of the day I see he's left some horrible message as a google review posing as a customer of mine.
the minute he walked into my office, and I mean the very second I saw his face, I hated him. just knew he needed an ass beating. seems my gut was right. total ****bag.
