Someone from this number called into my phone system and was on the call for 42 minutes. No one from my office spoke with them, so that means they are either just pressing buttons and trying to figure out my phone system or they call and don't actually pay attention to the prompts.
If it really is Staples, it's a bad business practice. I'm guessing Staples is hurting for revenue and has employed some telemarketing company to shake some sales.
Otherwise, it's a scam.
Yes. It's Staples. Our rep calls us regularly...but I have a different number to return his call. Perhaps this basic number is another division of Staples. I couldn't answer at the time they called. They didn't leave a message. I don't like that when these companies call, and call, and call and don't leave a message. If you leave a message I'll call you back. If you don't then your loss.
