got a call from this number, caller ID showed Bank of America, the india sounding lady asked for me by name, I said yes, the call got static and we were diconnecte. Tried to call the number back and received fax noise. No one called back.
Got acall twice on Dec 28th 2009 from # 415-436-1200. When you all bck, it will appear busy as always.
Seems to be some marketing blank call. So far Could not talk to anybody.
Gonna avoid this number now. When I googled,I got so many similar people.
The caller was from MBNA, UK, looking to collect from my business partner. Told the guy, Manesh, that i is illegal tocall people at work to chase debt, but he didn't seem to care...
I was expecting a call from MBNA after a fraud incident on my UK credit card. I gave my cellphone number but never pick up unless I recognize the number. I was NOT expecting a UK call to appear as being in California so I ignored it. With hindsight it looks like it was MBNA contacting me.
As someone already posted, I believe companies use this to save money. They certainly will in my case because I will never pick up a call I don't recognize and if they don't bother leaving a message (as in this case) their efforts will be in vain. I'll end up footing the bill by calling them on their local UK number, but with the assurance that I'm speaking with a UK company and not some scammer in California.
I've seen Bank of America mentioned here. Well they bought MBNA at least in Europe so this seems to tie in.
