A man with a thick accent called my work asking for one of the managers by name. When I asked who he was and what the call was regarding, he said that his name was [garbled fake English name], assistant to [different garbled name], part of [garbled company name]. I put him on hold and disconnected the call. These scammers are ruthless.
call came to my cell phone 3 seperate times today when cell phone was turned off. 8:20 am, 11:13 AM & 11:14 am also on my company 800 line at 8:40 AM. prior to business opening but left no message.
I have now blocked that number from the 800 number.
Foreign sounding guy called our office 3 times asking for 3 different people. 2 of the names he had the first names correct but last names wrong and the 3rd guy he asked for had not worked for the company for the last 5 years. He wanted to transfer me to another guy John Smith. SCAM!
They keep calling asking for someone by my first name but different last name and when I correct them, they say it's the wrong number and hang up. I'm starting to think their phishing for something.
