Got a call from 201-716-4468 today.. Male on other end seemed to be faking tone of his voice asked to speak to "the person who handles security for this website" and when told "how may I help you" he hung up.
I received a call too and I have to wonder if what they are doing is legal. I am in the IT business myself and they flagged one of our websites as not having an SSL for the short 1 day interval when we were restructuring websites. I don't even have SSLs with Comodo (or even gone to their website to check out their SSLs). Somehow they were able to pick up the fact that one of my domains did not have a valid SSL.
The person who spoke to me on the phone was also very rude. I am wondering if this practice should be reported to a regulatory agency. This is very suspicious.
The guy who called my office said his name was Josh Feldman. I asked the name of the company and he replied "Umph"! So i hung up on him. I don't tolerate soliciting whatsoever!
These guys have called me a few times regarding ssl certs and their expirations. I have not talked with them, but have recently blocked their number from my system.
The phone number belongs to Comodo Lltd who issue SSL certificates under the brand names Comodo, PositiveSSL, and InstantSSL.
We've never used any of their services or signed up for any of their mailing lists and yet we receive unsolicited sales calls from them. Not only do we receive unsolicited sales calls but we are deluged with SPAM advertising emails from these clowns. This weekend alone we received 31 SPAM emails advertising Comodo's SSL certificates.
As a result of their unsolicited telephone sales calls and mass spam I will never do business with them. What I do plan to do is file complaints against them with the FTC (both for their violation of the do not call list and their spam emails), and complaints with the New Jersey State Attorney General and a sepate BBB complaint for each of the 31 spam emails I received.
