I got a similar call today. He sounded like an Indian and identified himself as Richard.
He spoke pretty slowly. He happened to know my Name and Company and designation. He said when he called in to customer service, someone had referred him to me. He mentioned that he is presently overseas and would like me to contact him once he's back to Singapore. He even took down my email address and asked for my Surname for his own reference.
This is scary. What is this person trying to do?
I got a call from 4248430685, they asked for my personal mobile no. and did not want working personal mobile no., also they asked for my personal email no., claiming the owner of their establishment wants to send me confidential information , this is the second time they call me, each time by different person.
I received a call from this number and the woman asked me politely about the 10 names along with their email add and phone numbers. She is convinced me that she ones of the Project Manager and try to managing meeting in my country. She said that she is my company's staff in London. Anyway I was hypnotized by her and gave her ten people with their number as well as their email address.
Same thing here, calling for our Company Action officer. Had some staff names. Claimed to be working on a "presentation" for our Legal Department. Claimed to be one of our "biggest clients" would not give his company name until asked several times, then came up with obviously fake name. Called back several times asking same questions. Claimed to be calling from the London office and had to have names today. Definately East Indian male caller. After I advised that our Company president had forbidden me to release names he hung up.
