These foreigners are like a white head on your ball sack. Absolutely are scamsters that want nothing but pertinent info to screw you if they can. Unfortunately the DO NOT CALL LIST does not work and when this company calls you give them a piece of your mind because if you don't listen to their BS script and hang up they will call back and give you a piece of their mind just like the pushy foreign pieces of *#&@ they are.
I got a call from 385 229 3209. SCAM!!! She said her name was Patricia from Federal Financial. They want to set up an appointment to handle me a give away at my office. They had the name, of the company, my name, address. I told her first I couldn't understand her and I couldn't hear because there was a lot of noise in the background (call center noise). Then I told her I cannot receive anything in my office and she said someone can meet me at any restaurant or my home, she just needs an address and time to give some prize (sure!!!! anytime!!!) I told her I'm not interested, she insisted a few times, I said the same. Finally she hang up.
I don't know what they're selling, but they're probably some of the worst cold-callers I've met.
As soon as I answered, she said "First off, are you the owner or manager?" This indicates they are cold calling without even so much as a quick google. Our company has hundreds of employees, the owner wouldn't be answering a phone at a company this large.
I asked her if she had the name of the person she was trying to reach, and she said that no, she didn't, but repeated that she'd like the owner.
I offered her the e-mail address we give all cold callers, and she hung up.
It's Federal Financial. This is one of hundreds (I suspect) numbers this particular pest calls from. It's strange with this one, with all the numbers I know this company has called from I get weird results -- most likely a spoofed (fraud) number on the ID. They are BAD NEWS! Run fast and run far.
I track them, and I KNOW they have called from these numbers:
385-229-3204
385-229-3209
385-229-3221
385-229-3222
701-204-7330
Here are notes I've kept -- take them as you will.

Got a call from this number this morning they asked if they were speaking to an employee of the company. I said yes, but never game my name. They promptly hung up. It was a women who could speak English and was at a call center because you could hear noise in the background. This number is now blocked to prevent further time wasting.
