Another one of those: "Shawn / Sean" (with an accent) was instructed to transfer a call from his boss to one of our IT managers but wasn't aware of its purpose. I said that in accordance with company policy, calls without a stated reason aren't transferred. He said that he'd return with the information, but I know that he won't.
I just received one of many daily calls from this number asking for a member of our IT Dept. Based on background noise and accent I would say a call center in India. I let him know our IT Director was not available and that the Assistant had asked me to take a message. This time they declined to leave a msg and said they would call him back. The normal response is to decline to leave a msg, hang up in my ear, say they were going to call his cell/home, or my personal favorite is when they call me something that starts with a B or a C.
Someone just called my cell phone from this number, asking for a friend of mine. They say they're calling from Kevin Darrow's office, and declined to leave a message or say what it was in reference to. I looked up the name Kevin Darrow, says he's a chiropractor in Tx. No idea why a chiropractor in TX is calling a girl in NJ about a friend from Pa.
Same pattern, caller was instructed to transfer a call from his boss to me (by name, and I am an IT managers) and he clained he had no idea why he was calling. After three of these calls, my receptionist put the call through. The caller claimed that I had downloaded one of their white papers and was checking if I needed more information. He had no visibility of what white paper I supposedly downloaded. The phone number was likely spoofed as it is the number for Olde World Movers, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. Likely this is an outsourced outbound call center. They are clueless and not worth talking to, but are such a persistent caller that you might need to do something to get them to stop calling.
