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.
I recieved a call from this number at my buisness, the guy said his name was Michael Rose and he was from International Inquisitions, but i think it was a telemarketer
A caller stated it was 'Confidential' and needed to speak with the owners by name, but would not disclose the purpose of the call; this is the second time this week they have called, and I hope it does not become a recurring issue.
Your writting is compleatly nonsense... Nice atempt at writting a novel, maybe you should switch to writting fiction books.
Legitimate M&A companies do not engage in cold calling, and this practice is universally avoided
To clarify, this company is legitimate. Having worked with IAG (International Acquisition Group, LLC) for over 5 years as an independent contractor, their process involves matching buyers with businesses for sale through a rigorous registration and search process, utilizing Dun & Bradstreet for business information.
The whole thing appear to be a scam, they want you to pay $10k upfront for an appraisal, they make you feel like you'll lose the opportunity if you dont do it now
