I just had this missed call on my work line. Glad I was not in the office to pick up. I am wondering if this is the scam where they just want you to say yes, as JessicaP referenced above. http://www.omaha.com/money/this-phone-scam-ju ... 0657f1c1c0.html
After receiving numeral calls from this number I've decided to report it. This number calls regularly asking for employees who work in different offices. The callers thick accent usually gives them away as a scam a caller. I believe this is phishing scam meant to collect information on individuals. Don't give this caller any info! I refuse to tell them anything especially not info about the employee they asked for.
I also received a call from this number today - he called my cell phone, but when I didn't answer he called my home phone six times in a row. I finally answered to make the calls stop. He asked for my name and when I said, speaking, he hung up.
Guy with Middle Eastern accent called 3 times and I finally answered. He asked for a former employee and when he would not tell me what the call was about he abruptly hung up. When I tried to return the call - it says # is no longer in service.
Just got a call from this number asking for me by name, stating they had "2 papers requiring my signature." I don't have anything pending that would require that, and it sounded like a West African accent so I got suspicious and asked what company they represent and what it was in regards to. They said it was "The Overwatch Company" and when I read that back to them to confirm, they hung up on me. Based on the experience of other people posting here (and I am an infosec worker), they may be trying to confirm phone numbers related to stolen identities from recent computer intrusions. Stay vigilant for identity theft.
A non-English speaking male called for the owner and said his name was "Dr. Michael O'Connor". When I addressed him as Dr. O'Connor he laughed and I questioned his laughter. I then asked for the name of his company he said, Michigan Medical Department and I told him that I needed to write all of his information down so that said owner could return his call. He then said he had a patient and had to go and I said Dr. O'Connor I still need to the number for said owner to return your call. He gave a number of 614-267-7700 which rings to someone in Columbus, Ohio called WealthStone. Then he abruptly hung up. I tried calling both numbers and it was clear neither were legitimate. This is SCAM please be Aware.
