Calling My Clients Using My Business Name - Fraud
We have a new client that we've just launched an eCommerce site for so they are not even indexed in the search engines yet. I just received an email from them stating they have received three phone calls in the past week in reference to their web site. The callers have been using our business name, which has confused our client, of course. Our client eventually hung up on them since the caller spoke with a heavy accent that was hard to understand, plus there are only TWO of us in the company who would even call them so they were suspicious.
This really worries me, especially with our new clients, since many of the people we work for don't really understand how the Internet works. It also worries me that someone is out there using misrepresenting our business!
Please post a reply here if you've had a similar problem with someone posing as your company and calling your clients. Thanks!
