I got a called from this number, asking for a person that offices in a different state. He said (very hard to understand)...This is Tim Smith, calling from Jessica Lane's office. I asked office from what company and what this was about. He said this is Tim Smith calling from Jessica's office at the National Regulatory Services. I asked what he is calling about and I explained that Mr. J (not giving out his real name) offices in another state. He asked for that number. I explained I am not allowed to give out that information unless I get specifics on why the caller is calling. He refused, just repeated the name and company name. I said thank you and cut the call off.
This number shows up in callerID logs, day and night. Rings into voice mail, but NEVER leaves v-mail. Possible SOCIAL ENGINEERING recon attack, from descriptions of conversations reported below. An annoying repeat offender in my case.
Got the same call you have all experienced. Calling for one of our employees. It has happened 7 times. I tell them I am his assistant and they do not know what to do. Will leave no number or message. They always say they are a temp and it is their first day. They are not sure what to do. CRAZY. What is this for? I think next time I will pretend to be who they are looking for and see what happens.:)
