Esther from A10, calling on behalf of her boss Caroline Taylor. Esther had no idea why her boss was calling and was clueless (not to mention talked ridiculously loud). I get a lot of similar calls (assistant calling for boss, doesn't know anything, etc) from other numbers but same area code. I suspect it's telemarkers.
Same experience like most of you...but the interesting part was the caller was a lady calling my cellphone, probably of Indian origin and looking for a different person other than me. She seems to have my first name correct and picked a very common last name which makes me think this company is verifying a calling list.....sounds scary!!
