Ever wonder why a vague "Sue" keeps calling you about a coach named Gus or Steve? The pattern points to a scripted recruiting outreach that rarely matches a legitimate firm. Callers consistently claim affiliation with a recruiting agency—often named Entrepreneur Source or a similar variant—yet the numbers trace back to private owners, and the voicemail scripts sound generic. Protect yourself by letting unknown numbers go to voicemail, researching the company before returning any calls, and never sharing personal or financial details. If the call feels off, block the number and report it to your carrier; a cautious approach usually thwarts these scam attempts.
