Stay alert: repeated calls from the same number asking for the business owner are a classic red flag. Most of the reports tie the +1 972‑331‑7540 line to a firm that brands itself as IAG, which operates as a telemarketing outfit targeting small‑business owners with unsolicited acquisition pitches. To limit exposure, register the number on the national Do‑Not‑Call registry, use call‑blocking features on your phone system, and train staff to verify any request for confidential information before engaging. If a caller demands upfront fees or refuses to identify a legitimate company, hang up and report the incident to the FTC.
Somebody from IAG called, said his name was Rodney Pace, he want to speak to the owner about a bussines purchase
No message was left, only a recorded fast busy signal.
Rarely, IAG companys calls to speak with the owner occures, I take a messgae for him as he's not intersted, I spoke with Josh who was profesional and kind.
The caller, representing iagmerger.com, expressed interest in whether our company would be open to selling in 2020, positioning themselves as more than just business brokers with available buyers.
It's quite amusing that someone would expect a respons from a person who posted a comment here back in 2012, dont you think?
The fact that they're contacting me on my home phone raises serious questions about their legitimacy, making me wonder why they're doing so.
A woman contacted me, asking to speak to a deceased individual, and when informed of the circumstances, she inquired if I was the new owner without revealing her affiliation or purpose.
Despite our repeated requests to be removed from their call list, they persist in calling us, attempting to convince our company to merge or be acquired, disregarding our clear lack of interest.
Obviously a scammer contacted me, claiming interest in buying my business as a sole proprietor, now blocked.
Totally unacceptable experience
The caller expressed interest in discussing investment opportunities.
Despite submitting a complaint to the 'do not call' registry, I continue to receive calls from this number, with the most recent one occurring on February 5, 2019, at 10:36 am. The caller, allegedly from AIG, leaves no message and is listed as International Acquisition Group in Carrollton, Texas.
Legitimate companys dont ask for money upfront, they dont hang up when you anser, these scammers need to get a real job, it's rediculous.
Last week, a caller asked for the owner by name but did not leave a message, and today the call was hung up
A search on google revealed that this number is asociated with International Acquisition Group - Carrollton, TX, and they called me on 2/5/19 at 10:36am without leaving a mesage, supposidly AIG?
This call appears to be a scam: when I answered with our company's greeting, the female caller asked for the owner by his first name only, and after I offered to help, she said she would call back later without identifying herself or her company, or leaving a message.
If they call and you identifiy yourself, but they dont identify themselves, it's ushally a scam, I think.
I told the male I dont have any credit card's, and he started cursin at me, so I gave him a piece of my mind
From what i've gathered, Holden Buckner is stil involved, but is now going by the name Daniel Eldgrege, my friend who owns a buisness looked up his mug shot and its the same guy, so beware of this imposter!
Ms. Glass from IAG contacted us, inquiring about our interest in selling our business, albeit confidentially. Since we're not interested, there's no need for a callback.
A call from a different number, 972-119-331, resulted in no one speaking and an immediate hang-up, leaving questions about the nature of this call
In my opion, IAG is not a scam, i have worked with them and they seem legit, i have perfomed many buisness appraisals for them, and i can say they are a genuine company
In reality, this company's practices are deceitful. They claim to have potential buyers for businesses, but it's all a ruse. They have no international offices as they claim and charge exorbitant fees for fake business appraisals. After meeting with one of their representatives, I've been investigating their operations for years.
After conducting due diligence, it is clear that IAG is not a scam. Unfortunately, some individuals in the business world are too lazy to investigate and learn the facts. For example, Holden Buckner, who is no longer affiliated with IAG, was facing criminal charges unrelated to the M&A markets. For more information, it is best to contact IAG directly.
Initially, I was considering meeting with IAG after they contacted me, but fortunately, a friend warned me that IAG is a scam. Furthermore, I discovered that Holden Buckner, an individual associated with IAG, has a history of criminal charges in Canada.
Associated with Jason Hullender, who has been involved with National Business Capitol Services and now International Acquisitions Group, both of which are known scams
Dont know who this number belongs to, so i sent it to voicemail, some jerk was asking if my bussines was for sale
The losers called the office, but since no one answered, they hung up.
Our company was inundated with calls from this number within a short time frame, which has been frustrating; however, it appears that their phone system has been hacked.
This is a 100% total scam, it's the same thing as Corporate Acquisitions Group, they change names when they get sued, and they got fined 2 million dollars for defrauding small businesses.
