Guy just called and asked for Dan, I told him he was not in and just hung up on me. I will watch for this number when he calls back and I will pick up the phone and hang up on him.
Guy called from the same number asked for Kirk. I'm tasked with screening calls for executives so I asked who was calling. He said "Kevin with Olympia". I checked the desired extention and no one picked up so I asked if he'd like to leave a message and he hung up on me. I will be watching for this number to call again too!
This # calls a few times a year, tries to get the head of the company, acts as if he knows him and tries to get a cell phone # out of you. SCAM - looks like its coming from a cell phone. Then with no luck will hang up in your ear. I have had this # call and say he is working on our company owners house - posing as some type of contractor, will not give you his name, as if you need to give out other phone #'s for this scammer to call. NOT GOOD. Watch out for this one.
Yep, these guys are scammers, act like they're personal friends of the boss...
Instead of arguing with them, and wasting my time, I waste their time by being really polite and saying "Please hold" and then putting them on hold. I then wait to see how long before they hang up. (I can tell by the light that indicates the line is in use...) Today's "personal friend" was on hold for nearly 2 minutes, love it!
