M&M.... this is nothing new. I have seen this and even set up this type of scenero several times before where a company just keeps office space in a building. Their phone number goes through a common building switchboard and usually one or two individuals handle the call volume. Calls and any inquiries are then call forwarded out the building PBX to another location. The person calling never knows their call to Boston ends up in LA or China, etc.

It happens quite a bit with companies that want a presence in a location but do not want to have the expense involved with a office environment. This is a very inexpensive way to have it. If it is just domestic phone service, depending on call vol. you would probably be talking less than $1000. a month. Look at it like an answering service.

This lady was previuosly prompted as how to handle this type of situation. You were not shown any office space as their is probabaly just 1 office and a phone on the desk if that.

The lack of a listing for the company inside the building should be your other red flag as to the true validity of any business entity residing IN THE BUILDING. They just didn't figure you would show up looking for a physical body or office.....lol ! You caught them in a lie my friend or possibly they just FORGOT to put the name of the company on the register....lol !
