I got a call from this number. Identified himself as being from Optimum. Name on caller ID also said Michael Giehl. He mentioned something about "PRI Service." He had a very heavy Indian accent and wanted to know when would be a good time to have someone come in to talk to me about lowering our bill by $30. He was very insistant. I told him we weren't interested and he kept trying to repeat that I didn't need to change services and when could he send someone to us.
Showed up on caller ID only as "New York": Male caller stated that he was with Optimum Online and requested to speak to the manager regarding our telephone service. I asked him if this was regarding our business account and he stated "oh, hold on" and then he hung up. When I called back the number, a recording comes up and states that the first three numbers dialed are invalid.
Caller ID Michael Giehl, 631 999-9999. Asked to speak with manager, when I responded, "How can I help you?" caller seemed perplexed and handed phone to someone else who told me he was an Optimum employee and wanted to sell me service. I asked, since he was an Optimum employee, if he could see what phone service I had.(it's optimum voice) He was tryign to sell optimum voice and internet to businesses. Indian sounding callers, have called several times in the past.
Great opportunity to catch a crook. Call the police first and tell them what's going on.
Make an appointment for them to come over.
When they arrive at your home have the police there pick them up.
