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.
This is second time this person has called me also. For those that get even more repeated calls, I get most to stop by asking who they are calling for, then answering "let me get him for you" then immediately putting them on hold until they hang up themselves.
They soon get the idea.
Over 5 calls from this number just in the last 2-3 hours. No matter how many times I give them our corporate number, they still call me and ask to be transfered. They are also asking for names of Financial officers. Obviously a sales call but to continue to irriate those that you are contacting isn't a great tactic.
Received same type of call today. Lady with very heavy accent asking for "Mark". No last name and when asked for the last name, she made one up. Then asked for someone in IT. Well, I offered to take a message and they said they would call back! LOL..... Still won't get any where.
As others wrote, the man has a very heavy accent, relentless and impossible to understand between that and a lousy connection. Told him several times that I looked up his number while we were on the call, that others can't understand what he's saying, etc. Finally hung up.
