Called asking for IT Manager. Said he wasn't allowed to talk to Help Desk, Tech Support, etc. despite calling a help line for our company. Wanted to talk to my boss so I asked for some basic information from him and he hung up on me.
It's always a bad idea to call them back. It puts you on their 'live dupe' list and will almost always assure you of more calls from other entities in the future.
This number has been calling me several times a day for several days now. I answered once last week and they asked for a person I've never heard of, then asked if it was <name of my company?> I said it was, but we are a business unit, not corporate HQ. They asked for the # for Corporate HQ and I told them to google it. They said they couldn't. I told them I don't work for them and they'd have to find the # on their own and to please remove my # from their list. They are still calling. I don't answer any more.
These companies gather information from you to sell to others. DO NOT confirm your name and or company. I certainly wouldn't give them your email address (as someone suggested) you will end up getting spammed.
Called our company asking for an IT manager. I asked what the call was regarding and he said "Infrastructure". I asked what about the infrastructure and he gave me an unintelligible response. I said that our IT manager does not take these types of calls and the telemarketer asked, "Well how does he do business then?" To which I replied, "I'm sure he has his ways..." lol he hung up on me.
