Cyndy, I have received this call on 3 different days. I finally did pick up today. I said 'may I help you' and no one answered - finally hung up. I too am in software related field.
you are mistaking this scam for a legitimate telemarketer. CROOKS do not care about the do not call laws and only legitimate businesses follow the DONOTCALL LAWS..

They call for someone by name and say it is on behalf of their boss and want to be transferred, but don't know the nature of the call. This seems to be the latest ploy to get through. Caller usually has an accent. I do not forward calls or give information if the caller can't provide more details. Same thing for 214-613-0174 and 617-507-1459. This is the third call received today from the different numbers and different callers using the same spiel.
I received a call from this number today and picked it up. The name they were asking for was my firstname and the company I work for as my lastname. The company they were looking for was my actual lastname.
I forgot to mention that I called it back and I was put into a conference room. The message just kept going on about facebook and social networking and how it could help my company.
I tried every key on the phone and nothing happened.
