does not leave message

I just saw on another list that this was Investment Rareties - a reputable company which I have done business with in the past.

I received a call from this number recently. I was not home at the time and no message was left. I did a little investigating and I believe its a company called Investment Rarities.
Investment Rarities

7850 Metro Pkwy
Minneapolis, MN 55425
(952) 853-0700  

I got the above info from a google search of the number.

I received two calls ae 8:35 and 8:40AM, both violating the Press One sales block on my phone which peohinits salesmen.  One identified himseld as Roy, the other John. The caller ID on my phone showed IN, when if fact they are a gold and silver sales company called Investment Rarities.  Both refused the name of the company however, and both hung up.  The sales manager, Bill Torador, was rude when I advised him that his caller's ignored the sales block on my phone, and was very callous. I traced the number and found it to go to Investment Rarities, 7850 Metro Pkwy,Minneapolis, MN 55425
(952) 853-0700.  They are not listed with the BBB.  MY advise?  AVOID THESE INDIVIDUALS!  Having run a company, I would never conduct business in this fashon. I am reporting them to the FCC for violation of the DNC policies.

Rec'd phone call noonish 12 May '11, no message left.

Investment Rarities sales call received 7/18/11

No message.  The schnooks doing this musta got my MagicJack # from the one silver investment firm I get mailings from.  I'll cancel them with a note about this intrusion.

Number is for Investment Rarities. I've asked them multiple times to put me on their do not call list, but I still receive 1 or 2 phone calls from them each week.

IRI is a most reputable coin and bulling dealer. I have known them for years and do business with them, My account rep there calls me about every 90 days. You are probably on a simple call list. ease up.

Okay, people...Calm yourselves...This is a gold and silver bullion, coin and precious metal investment house...They once sent me an advertisement promising me a fre half dollar Benjamin Franklin silver coin if I simply sent away for their brochures...I sent away beliving they were a total fraud...But 7 business days later, they sent me their brochures and a a genuine Ben Franklin silver 50 cent piece dated 1960...In very good condition...Retail value: 12 dollars more or less...They mean no harm...They're out to sell you precious metals...I don't appreciate them calling me...But they've only done it once and I didn't answer.

No big deal...But they are legit...And I may do business with them in the future if their spot prices are competitive...But I'll be calling them, thank you....But they're a-okay in my book.

So you knew who the number belonged to but looked it up anyway?  What possible purpose other than shilling for these crooks could you possibly have had?

Are these the folks that advertise repeatedly on Fox News?  You know, the commercials with James Brolin, telling us to buy gold now! before the banks collapse...

Probably.

If you believed they were a fraud, why did you send away for their brochures? Did you want to get on more junk mailing lists?

Try APMEX in Okla. City.  100 times better price-wise and professionally than this Minnesota outfit.  They've had legal problems in the past that you might want to investigate.
