Extremely unprofessional and intrusive. A representative named Chris from Nexgen has been calling our business multiple times a day for weeks. He refuses to state his business or provide any written correspondence via email, and simply insists on speaking to the owner. This is not how legitimate businesses operate. Avoid this company at all costs—highly suspicious and borderline harassment.

Calls himself Chris from NextGen, demands to take to director claiming they asked for a call back. When asking him what it is in regards to he become rude and states the director knows and "I'll tell the director when he calls back". If you push back he suddenly says "I'm busy and have other calls I can't talk"

9159 2088 - has called endlessly. daily. To our business land line. Each time changes the Business name from Bussiness Telstra to BT. When I called him on it got furious. I refuse to give him my name which also drives him wild and he hangs up. He is extremely aggressive and unprofessional.

Answered a call from this number today. Asked for someone who has never worked here, then argued with me about it. He would not identify who he was or what he was calling about, unless I gave hime the details of the owner. Seems to be fishing for information.

We experienced exactly the same! We said our Director is not interested and he kept calling, not to mention being rude to my colleague. Upon probing, he just can't explain why we need to call him back. We verified with our service provider and they've not heard of him.

Cold call, said he was from BT group. Made up a story that he was asked to follow up in June 2024.

When I mentioned that the person he asked for had retired, he kept saying he wanted to speak to the director. Knowing for a fact that he was not asked to follow us up as we deal with another company and are very happy with them, he got very rude, aggressive and condescending.

Don't know why they think that even if you were looking at phone systems, you would choose to go with a company that hires a rude, aggressive and condescending sales people.

By the way, we are with More Telecom and they have been fantastic!
