Calling on behalf of their "manager Martin", for I believe he was saying Profitable Conference Partners(?). It was hard to tell, it sounded like he had come back from the dentist.
I don't know if I should feel pity for these people or learn to despise them since they are so eager to talk over you, then raise their voices, and finally grow angry with you when they are advised their call cannot be transferred. I'm not certain why they believe we're lying to them when we simply cannot transfer to someone who passed a way years ago. In fact they did not know what the word deceased meant, what the phrase passed away meant, and eventually we had to resort to spelling out the word -d- e- a- d-, and I'm not certain that they got that reference either.
I had a lady call ask for my first name which I said yes and she told me I sounded different from before. I asked her who she was looking for and she said Megan with an insurance company. I told her this wasn't it but asked her how she got my number because this is the fifth call like this I've gotten only using wrong last names but my correct first name. She said she dialed it on her cell phone and that her phone must be messing up or she missed dialed and apologized. I asked her where she was from and how she got this number but she excused herself and got off the line. I then look up what she has told me was a cell phone number and low and behold it has one of these scam alerts on it. I have no idea what is going on the other calls were business calls like a call center but this one was strange. This is all on my work number.
These people call from many many different area codes, yet they are the same voices. This is obviously is a foreign call center, spoofing U.S phone numbers....I always ask what company they are calling from and here is a few of their answers....Sean Smith from the office of Lance Manui@Zilliant, from the office of Brenda Reimer@LogRhythm, from the office of Liz Kelly@Divergent, Sean Smith from Citibank, Honeywell, PV Technologies, just to name a few. Their "M O" seems to be to get names, titles, phone numbers and e-mails of our employees (we are a huge global corporation).
Their intent is most likely to sell this information to other scammers and spammers. They lie like dogs and are up to no good.
Beware!
