Carina Cadillac (not even joking) who made a point of saying her name twice before I hung up on her was trying to sell me "television service for my business"
Someone called the office, claiming he was from DirectTV
He asked for the owner, and when prompted for a name, simply repeated himself louder.
When I told him I couldn't transfer him without a name, the then tried to confirm the address.
I won't confirm any information over the phone, told him this, and again offered him an e-mail where he could send any information.
He refused, and hung up.
I'm always extremely cautious of people who call, phish for a person, then phis for an address confirmation.
Claimed there was static on the line and would call back. Called again and said that they were from Direct TV and was asking for the owner (me). "We understand you have 2 TVs at your business".. I said "No, we don't have any TVs at our business" then there was a long pause and I hung up. Caller ID says "Shelburne Fa MA" Scammer as they can't even put together a decent schtick
Just got off the phone with these jokers. Same fake schtick that OwnerOSI got: claimed there was static on the line, asked to call back. Person who called back was not the same person as the one from the previous call. Tells me my business is pre-approved for a TV service. I told him we weren't interested, hung up, and blocked the call. The number shows up as 413-489-1602 from MA.
The first call is to ascertain that they've got a legit number and that someone will answer. Then the real call center calls back.
