Woman phoned on behalf of Scott Bruce from Safenet for one of our IT managers. She didn't know the reason for the call. I told her that we don't transfer calls to managers unless advised of the purpose. She said that she'd find out and get back to us. We receive many inquiries of this type, and the results are always the same -- they never call back. In this case, Safenet is a legitimate information security company -- located in Maryland. All of their contact numbers have Maryland area codes. "Scott Bruce" is in Las Vegas.
Same experience, would not tell why they called. They said they were calling from Sarah Goncalves and were asking for an old company someone worked for.
My coworker received 2 calls for me at work when I was on days off. One from this number, the other from 424-781-1627. Both times an Indian speaking person asked for me, unable to correctly pronounce my name.
I got the same call from Indian English speaking person, I asked her details she didn't want to tell. I am an IT Professional, may be these duds are a kind of going behind the IT people.... .
