Very wierd- i answered the phone and the lady (with a very thick accent- and very loud background) starts talking- no acknowledging my greeting- just starts in saying her name in NANCY..and bla bla bla- i say hello 2-3 times before she stops reading her script..i ask who she is looking for and she says "your IT manager.." and them immediately asks "is that joe?" i reply- "what is this regarding and who is calling" and she replies- "this is Nancy- NANCY... with comodo- that c-o-m-o-d-o.. calling about the exp ssl license for 123.com" i tell her i can take a message and while she is polite, she was hard to understand and this is an old scam
Asking about an ssl cert for our website? Sorry, outside company hosts the site, no reason they should be calling about that and not to the default company number. If it was for real they would have a contact here. Sounds like they want you to install a bogus ssl cert to scam your customers.
I keep getting calls/voicemails about the SSL certificate too. I never answer, but the voicemails have been from different people, most recently someone named Stephanie, sounds like she's at a call center. My IT department said to ignore it. It's a scam, just wish they'd stop calling.
This number is calling our main business line. We answered the calls but nobody is there... at first. Within seconds I hear the all too familiar telemarketer click and then the sound of a loud call center in the background while a young woman says, "hello?" We hang up. We don't deal with telemarketing EVER.
Call came in under #201-620-6929 Caller ID read the name as: V916153514000097
They've called me on my cell phone 3 times today and don't leave a message, also several times in the past. I think they have a database that flags expiring SSL certificates and they call trying to offer their certs as a competitive renewal option. I just put their number on ignore on my cell, but I'm posting this info so people can know what these calls are about. Annoying telemarketers mining databases.
I could probably make my phone# private on the contact info for the digital cert, but maybe Thawte (my SSL cert company) is reselling my info to their competitor somehow? Stupid.
