Caller ID says call is from NAT AUTO DIV. Calls at least once a week. First call a male asked for person by name. He was told there is no one at this number by that name. Subsequent calls, the caller says nothing. Hangs up. Scam of some sort.
This number called my place of work. I need to provide a transcript of this conversation because it was just too bizarre:
Me: Good afternoon, XXX Company.
*two seconds of silence as the call connects, then lots of background boiler room noise*
Telemarketer: Hello!?
Me: Yes, good afternoon, this is XXX Company.
TM: Hi, this is *garbled* with the Warranty Department calling on a recorded line about the warranty on the Audi *random string of numbers*. What's the mileage on the vehicle?
Me: I'm sorry, I think maybe you have the wrong number. Who are you calling for?
TM: Jane Smith, please connect me to her.
Me: Ah, I'm sorry but she no longer works in this department--
TM: What happened?
Me: She is no longer with our company. This isn't the right number to reach her anymore.
TM: What happened?!
Me: I...don't understand what you're asking me. She isn't in our company anymore.
TM: Please transfer me to her.
Me: No, I can't. She isn't in our company anymore.
TM: What happened? What happened?
Me: I don't know how else to say this. She left. She's gone. She's not with our company.
TM: So she just left, huh? People just move on nowadays.
Me: Yes....they do. Can I help you with anything else?
TM: *disconnects*
I can't tell if he a) couldn't hear me, b) didn't understand what I was trying to tell him, or c) was pressing me for more contact information from her. Either way, we get calls like this all the time from random numbers, each trying to claim that they are from a "Warranty Department" and wanting personal information. They use that to scam you into buying phony extended warranties. Just hang up.
I just received a call from the number. It is to be noted that I live in Canada in Quebec, a french-speaking province. So receiving a call from what sounds like an American voice is somewhat strange.
Me: Oui Allo?
*There's about 5 seconds of background noise and a very audible radio playing Sisqo's The Thong Song.*
Me: Hmph...
TM: Hmph... Hey can I speak to John?
Me: There's no John here. I think you might have the wrong number.
TM: What do you mean there's no John here?
Me: There is no one by that name here, you probably have the wrong number.
TM: How do you know that?
Me: 'Cause I live here, and you just called.
TM: Man, get your mom on the phone 'cause you lil' boy.
Me: *Disconnect*
I wish I stayed a little longer on the line just for the sheer weirdness of that call.

I received a call from this number on my boss's line. Not the first time that Nat Auto Div had called. When I refused to provide information the person told me "You are the worst secretary ever! You need a new line of work" and hung up on me. I don't think he understands that one of a secretary's jobs is to screen calls and I am very, very good at it.
