This person just called the main reception line for our office in DENVER and asked for our CEO - Our company is based out of Australia, which is where our headquarters and CEO reside. I informed this caller that our CEO was unavailable to answer her call as it was 4am there. She sounded annoyed and said, "so he's based out of Australia now, huh?" as if she thought that was "sneaky" of him... I said, "Actually, he's always been based out of Australia as has this entire company. May I ask who this is??" She said her name (which I couldn't understand through her accent) so I asked her to elaborate by telling me which company she's calling from. She said, "The Wealth Elimination Network". What kind of ridiculous name is that?!? lol... maybe I'll start my own "wealth elimination" company and start calling CEO's to tell them they're too wealthy and should give me some of that wealth. I'd be happy to take it off their hands! ha!
I just got a call from this number and the girl said she was with Microsoft and wanted to update thier records. I didn't give her any info as she wanted info on a company I use to work for.
They try a few different Business names to gain information, when you get a call, ask for a number to call them back, if they say Microsoft, ask them to verify your account number, when all is said and done, report them to the FCC, the FTC, and your local telephone company and form a formal complaint. The line is owned buy Grande Communications in Texas, but there is no record of who is using it.
