I received a call asking for the person who coordinates our outside meetings and the caller said that she was from Holiday Inn corporate trying to update her database. She asked for a name and title.
We had an event at a hotel in Virginia last week and an asian woman called in and said she was with the corporate office located in California of the hotel we used and wanted to update their database with the information. She was very vague in her responses and I gave her no information other than telling her its the same information they have on file as they did last week at the time of the event. I did call the hotel where we had our event and they said they know nothing of any follow-up phone calls and their corporate office is not in california. When I called the number back myself, it just rings as a fast busy signal.
Just received a call from +1 650 900 5223 right now from a woman inquiring about a Holiday Party that we hosted at the Four Seasons here in Vancouver last week; except that we didn't. She knew my name and my office address. I didn't give her any information except that I knew nothing about an event at the hotel she referenced. She quickly closed the conversation down and hung up. When I called the number back to see where it led to, I just received a recorded message indicating that the call could not be connected.
Similar to what others have said. Called my company asking who was over hosting events in hotels. When I asked her name and what company she was with she said Sophie Jones and that she was calling on behalf of her husband's business. Asked about the company again, claimed the company was HIS. When I told her I'd rather have our event manager contact you she ended the conversation and hung up without giving me contact info.
Received a call from this number following an event held at a local hotel. I did not recognize the number on my caller ID on my personal cell phone so "googled" the number. I attempted to call the number back on my business phone but received the message that the number had been disconnected. This was only minutes after receiving the call on my personal cell phone.
