Caller was probably from an offshore call center, said he wanted to send me a free white paper from HP on some type of data storage system. I'm not in IT, and the company is small, so I asked him to remove my name from his list. He hung up on me. I get at least two of these calls a week even after asking to be removed. If anybody from HP is listening -- this doesn't boost your image in my mind!
Man with heavy accent has called over and over for employees in IT. He said he was with IBM trying to do business. I sent him to the IT automated system for help lol
Man with an Accent called me all week from # 408-459-2892. Never left voicemail. He called our IT service department and they transferred the call. He said he was from the Better Business Bureau and needed to send me some Marketing information over. I asked who he was with again and said the BBB. I asked why the BBB would come from CA and not my state. He then said can you verify your email address. I asked what do you have? He just came up with my first name and the name of the company I work for. I asked him to go over the letters b/c my name could be misspelled. He did but wow he wasn't close at all. I told him that he could find my email address on the company website but i do not feel comfortable giving over the phone without some more information on why he is calling. I never received anything and the calls still come in so I don't bother answering.
This is a person from India who is usually hired by another company to either a. Steal Employees or B. Get organizational information to find out what the company might be building, ie next generation products etc.. They use a Magic Jack phone connection on their computer. What I do is have fun with them by changing the caller ID on my iphone to their phone number and flood their voicemail box...
Heavily accented caller asking questions about our postage meter, how we buy stamps, and then wanted my email address. I declined and asked him not to call back.
Got a call from 408 459-2892. Man with a heavy accent said that he was from the Better Business Bureau headquarters in California. He wanted to send me information regarding new email standards. He already knew my name and email (which could have been gotten from company press releases.) He certainly changes his story frequently.
