Just called and I asked for the EVP of Operations by name, I asked if I can take a message, and he said no. Well idiot if you can't leave a message then it isn't important!!
I received a call from this number to my business asking for another co-worker. When I asked for the name and number the caller, a younger sounding gentleman, would not leave his name or number.
In the past few weeks, I have been getting calls daily on my direct line from people who are obviously calling from offshore (mostly Indian accents) through a US number. They never identify themselves...just ask for someone at our parent company. Most of the people they ask for no longer work here. I have told them that they are calling my direct line and not the company and to stop calling but all they do is ask for the main number of the company. I have stopped answering the phone when I see the number on caller ID...if I accidentally pick up, I just say wrong number and hang up. It is a huge waste of my time~
P.S. There are calls from other numbers that are exactly the same...foreign accents, asking for people who no longer work for the parent company, etc. It started about three weeks ago.
After I posted on the site of some of the numbers I was being called from, the calls stopped. Until this week! Now I have received three calls in the past two days that are similar to the ones I posted from before...including this one!
As before, they ask for former employees of the corporation who no longer work there...and who never worked for my department.
Got another call today from this number asking for a different former employee of our parent company. I told the guy that I was sick of them bothering me and to stop calling. I'm sure it will have no effect.
I have been receiving a call from this number daily for the past couple months. They always ask for an employee that hasn't worked here in years. When I ask for a supervisor they seem completely confused and have no idea what to do. They apologize and promise to remove me from their list. Then the whole things starts again the next day. It's driving me nuts and I have no idea how to stop them from calling.
