CID showed Unknown, so I let the answering machine take it. They didn't actually leave a message, but stayed on the line, so the machine recorded boilerroom/call center back ground noise. Scammers.
Indian guy asking for the Owner. I said "owner of what? He said business owner. I want to give you free money. I said "I'll take it". He asked what the name of the business was. He had mentioned it, so I gave it to him. He asked me how much I wanted and I said $1 million. He said he could only give me $100,000. I said I would take it. I asked "it's free, I don't have to give it back?" At that point I think he realized I was playing him and hung up.
Caller ID is Brooklyn. If I answer, it says "to accept, press 1. To leave a message, press 2." Idiot (me) has tried both with no effect. Except that it keeps happening, about once each day. No person, no recording, nothing.
This number called our business today at 1051 hours. Caller ID said only "New York NY" so I knew immediately it was yet another spammer/scammer trying to "lend" our company money. A guy asked to speak to the owner, using his last name, "Mr. [name]", which was a refreshing change over the ones who use a first name only, as if trying to imply the boss and he are best buddies. I replied bluntly, "No." He paused to digest that and then asked why that was the case. I informed him that the boss doesn't work in the office and we're not interested in anything they're selling. Another pause, then he chuckled and wished me a good day. At least he was a pleasantly polite spammer/scammer.
Called asked for the business owner by first name. I asked what company he was with, couldn't make it out. He asked to speak with owner, I asked what it was regarding. He said something to the effect of F***ing Gatekeeper and hung up.
