Rec'd call from them, ID as HCR Healthcare, but wanting to verify business information for their publication "Trenchless Technologies". I can't find this publication online. When I asked her to verify that information to see if they are legitimate because I do not give out my last name or other personal information without verification, the call suddenly ended.
I found her rude and would love to report this somewhere as a scammer.
"0"d out of co-workers voice mail to get me. Incredibly difficult to understand him, poor English, poorer connection - definitely telemarketer - I speculate it was for a magazine subscription.
Caller, clearly from a boiler room, asked for me by name and wanted some "information so we can end you your free subscription to [trade magazine in my field that is normally a freebie anyway]" Not interested; *CLICK*; number blocked.
Suspect the scammers are accessing contact lists from various professional/trade organizations or major employers with just enough info that they can put together an almost-credible pitch. Scary.
I did not recognize the number, so I did not answer. The caller left a voice message on my phone just saying, "Hello?? Hellooo" and then she hung up. It was a woman with a foreign accent. I marked that number as "spam."
