I work for a major hospital as an admin in the IT department. I get tons of calls from companies like this. The person who called had a heavy accent and the connection was bad. She asked for someone who no longer worked there, then asked for three people in other departments, then tried to get me to connect her with our IT manager. When I asked her for HER information, she backpeddled and said she would call back later. I have learned to keep a running log of all calls. I just look at the caller ID and don't answer if the number is on my "persistant vendor / spam" log.
Called asking for "Mark". Well, we have quite a few of those, so I asked her for a last name and she gave me one I've never heard of before. So, I told her we had no one here by that name and then she asked for someone in our IT department. Can't do it! You don't have the contact name, I can't connect you. Said they would try and call back! I just love it when they say that... won't make a difference pal.
Have received a few calls from this number at work and the caller has such a thick accent, I can't tell exactly what they're calling about. Terrible connection as well. Something about "IT" and they want to verify my work address and information. Told caller that I'm not at liberty to disclose any information about my work address. I can only assume they're trying to sell something. Very annoying.
This number has called several times this morning. Each time they call a man will ask for someone in HR. Without a contact name or purpose of call the call will get dumped into voicemail. The 3rd time he called he asked for someone in our HR dept who is no longer here, and then asked for anyone in HR. Dumped him into voicemail.
