I've received numerous calls a day for the past five days from this Indian accented PITA. Uses an unknown number and 347-949-4576. Always asks for me by first and last name and my company, all correctly. I always ask who he is and who does he represent, but I can never understand his answer. Wish there was a way to block his calls.
Man with accent from call center originally phoned from 347-949-4576. Research led to the website for a company named EMC, which is a known pest around here. He claimed to be returning the call of a manager who is not at this location. I said if an inquiry had been made, the manager would have provided his direct line and transferred this guy to Purchasing. In a few seconds, 646-434-5429 appeared on Caller ID. Mr. Accent complained about my sending him elsewhere and denied that he was soliciting, but I switched him over again. He tried two more times with the same result, then gave up. Posters at the 800notes page for 646-etc. stated that EMC uses a variety of numbers.
UPDATE: This man has now called more than eight times today (using both numbers), alleging to also be from UPS to deliver a package, Bank of America, and "the Revenue Department" concerning an individual's unpaid tax bills. I told him that our company doesn't accept debt collection calls and to either try the person at home or send them a letter. Additionally, he slammed down the receiver on my back-up when she asked for more specifics about the alleged deliveries.
Caller with accent said he was from a healthcare company asking to speak with me (knew my name). I think he said the company name was "Bear" or "Bayer" - not completely sure.
I asked him what this was in regard. He asked again if it was me. I asked again what it was in regard. He asked if I worked for a company (I no longer work for). I told him this was not that company he had reached. He asked then to confirm this was a mobile # instead. I said yes, then he asked again if I was the person he had called. I said yes and repeated this was not that company #. He hung up.
