This guy is a complete do***e bag. I told him I am the owner of the company and he told me that I was lying...then afterwards he said, 'with all due respect.'

Claims to be with Rockford Firemen.  Evidently he is a professional fundraiser working for the IL****oc of Retired Firefighters, paid on commission.  86% of their income goes to fundraiser fees and expenses; only 14% goes to programming and general operating expenses for the charity.  Note: contributions are NOT tax deductible.

This number has been****ociated with what is strongly believed to be a scam.  The caller represents himself to be****ociated with the Illinois****ociation of Retired Firefighters.  He tries to get business owners to advertise in what I think is a bogus magazine.  There have been numerous businesses that have paid between $50 and $250, were given a bogus receipt with an address out of Peoria, and promised so****ing they never got.  Avoid this guy at all cost!!!  Call police if you have paid money to them...

I got a message from a blocked phone number on my caller ID. When I got the call, he asked for our owner. He wasn't available so I took a message. He claims his name is Mike Privarte. He just wanted to talk to the owner. The owner doesn't talk with people that don't give information as to what they want. He wouldn't tell me what it was regarding... but gave me his phone number. Obviously it is a sales call. The number is a Kankakee, IL number which is about an hour from our business location. Sounded like a scammer to me.

This caller called our company claiming to be a****ential customer and got very offended because I told him I thought he was a salesperson and ***g up on him. He then called back and threatened to bring our company down with bad reviews and insulted me with all the big words possible.
