Call centre selling predatory phone contracts to small business owners. They miss out key information in a cold call and then claim to have you trapped into a business contract you can't get out of without paying thousands to do so. They have multiple numbers to get around blocks too, ask each call from a telemarketer pretending to be from your network to confirm who they are, loud and clear on the phone and get proof! If they're not who you think, hang up, these people are predatory and harassing.
