This is a national sleazebag broker for credit card processing.  They have outside commission sales weasels in some major metro areas and anyone can sign up on their website to be a "sales agent."  When William first called, he said he got my number from a friend (and he named a correct friend) and made it sound like he was wanting to hire my company to do some work for him.  I entered that into the contact notes in my phone to remember to thank Wesley.  When I called back to pursue the business, it turned out that they just wanted to "learn more about" my business and see how they could "help maximize our advantages in the marketplace" or some such drivel.

The one who called me back today, Mike, tried hard to get an appointment at our office but finally agreed to meet me at a local coffee chain to discuss how they could sell me something, no more pretense about wanting my help, this is pure sales slime.  So after the country-dumb trick of agreeing to meet him, I asked how they heard about us.  Mike claimed they only ever take contact info from DNB, no mention of my friend Wesley.

Oddly enough I don't intend to attend the meeting.  Hey, if you waste my cell minutes, I can waste your gas.  [***]. I wonder how many appointments he'll let me reschedule before he figures it out.  

I got him to spell everything for me.  Company is AppStar at appstarDOTnet.
