Who is Steve Hecht?

Steve or Steven Hecht of Phoenix is a pestering salesman and has used the following numbers: 623-243-7979, 623-243-7980, 602-330-6336, 602-249-6737

Steve left several annoying message on my office voicemail and my cellphone (I have no idea how he got either number, but he claims he was referred to me by someone I knew - Total BS.) He would leave no details in his messages about why he was calling me. The messages seemed designed to make me believe I knew him, but I didn't - So I ignored him. But he kept calling me, and I eventually accidentally answered my cell phone. He claimed to be an executive recruiter looking for skilled professionals and was hoping I could refer people to him. I told him I was unable to help, but wished him luck.


A little internet searching shows he is/was affiliated with Primerica Financial Services, a financial solutions/services company based in Phoenix. According to a website description, "Primerica is in the business of changing lives. They fulfill their mission — to help families become debt free and financially independent..."


Here's an .mp3 of one of Steve's voicemails. I didn't know that people actually talked like this:

Message to all Steve Hechts of the world: Do not call people pretending to know them. Be straight up and honest about who you are and make your intentions known. That's how you earn respect and business.
