Caller asked for someone by name who does not work here then asks to speak to an IT manager next. He had a heavy accent along with a bad call connection and people talking in the background.
[Normally, I use the moniker "Switchboard," but since the prior poster beat me to it, I've had to create another.] Twice so far today (you know they'll be back), a woman with an accent asked to speak with a generic IT manager in order to send a white paper and other information. I receive so many of these calls on a daily basis that I no longer bother to say that the company considers them to be soliciting; I just transfer them to Purchasing. The very next caller, also from a pest number (415-230-0545), gave the same spiel, resulting in the same consequence.
Always asking for those in the IT groups which in our company are too busy and as a policy do not accept live calls. But, apparently this is a call center that is outbound only (and from the accents off shore too boot) and are not permitted to leave messages. But they try 2 ... 3 ... sometimes 4 times or more a day with the same response. Perhaps eventually it will sink in.
Got a call from this number and didn't answer. The message that they left was 30 seconds of elevator music and then a automatic voice message stating that I should leave my message after the tone.
I am in IT and can only assume that the call was transferred to me by our receptionist. By rule, I only answer calls from numbers that I recognize or have appointments with. They left no number, but I have answered many calls similar to the ones mentioned in other posts. I have a hard time believing that this approach produces any quality (or quantity) of results. Nice Try!
