I just spoke with someone with an Indian accent. Really couldn't understand him and I pointed out that his number is captured on websites as a spam. He was unfazed by that. Selling marketing services but his diction was so poor, meaning he spoke quickly and didn't pronounce words fully that I really couldn't understand him.
Indian company calling through US numbers to get you to answer.
This guy could BARELY speak English, it took about three minutes until I knew what he was saying. They do web development, design and marketing (who doesn't these days!?!?) and wanted to setup a time with his "colleague" named Ravi.
Told him to stop calling, I work at a coal mine (you try and name a place that doesn't have a website!) and they must have the wrong number.
Looked back, he called my "domain" number, which is a Google voice number I use when I register domains so I can filter crap calls like this. Waste of time, just try and keep him on the line for hours so he gets fired.
I am getting these calls at work and when I answer, there is no one on the line and they called 12 times in a row and still no one was on the other end.
A polite man with a heavy accent wanted to speak with a marketing manager. After three attempts, I gave up trying to understand the rest of what he was saying and transferred him to Purchasing.
I always transfer them to accounts receivable via an attended transfer and tell the receivables people to have fun with them and demand payment for the money they owe us. We usually make it in the tens of thousands of dollars. You should hear them spit, sputter and stammer or they just hang up. At least it gives us a few laughs.
This number calls me several times a day. I do not pick up and they don't leave a message. It is not a number that I have in my list of business partners. I am now planning to answer the next time and do what EoC does (dated 13 Feb 2014) above. :-)
