"Hello! [name of our BnB]
"Hi! May I speak with the owner?"
[cheerfully] "No, if you're a solicitor, you may not!"
[taken aback] "Excuse me?"
[still cheerful] "If you're a solicitor, no, you may not speak with the owner!"
"Have a nice afternoon."
"You, too."
We're out of town, but have the BnB phone forwarded to my cell. Since Sunday morning, we have been inundated with solicitation calls - sometimes 3 per hour. The caller ids are all generated, all different. Since I hit on this new strategy, I feel MUCH better. I'm going to add a bit about how the owner accepts solicitations through postal service only, but I am not authorized, as an employee, to pass along solicitation calls. BTW - because of the pattern of calls and what they're asking for, I'm QUITE convinced one of my service providers sold our information. I think I will be in the market for a new [fill in the blank] once I can determine for certain exactly who it was.
