I'm up to 7 calls from this # today, at my work number. I'm no longer even bothering to pick up (I was leaving the receiver on my desk, not saying anything, till he hung up). How fun! (Sarcasm)
Same situation as other callers: A bit rude and overbearing, Asian (Indian) accent, asks for someone by name, refuses to identify the nature of the call, gives a generic name (Ed Smith). Because of the rude way in which he spoke, I refused to state my own name unless he stated the nature of the call, so he requested that I transfer him to the person's voicemail. I did so, just to see if he would leave a message - he did not. Calling the number back is pointless, as it is a majicjack number that is apparently unassigned. Be nice to know what the heck this shmuck is up to.
They are definitely compiling/verifying a call list. I got a call from them yesterday asking for me by name. After confirming that I was the person they were asking for, they hung up. Now, they called today asking for the owner of the company, which happens to be based out of state and not at this office. After saying "no, there is nobody by that name at this company" the caller proceeded to grill me about my company, etc. at which point I hung up.
Someone from this number called, fugured it was a telemarketer so I didn't answer, when they called right back I answered and they asked for me by name then hung up.
