This number calls our office asking for the Senior Legal Counsel. Doesn't want to tell us who is calling or what company ... I did finally get the words "Mitra Tech" out of the female caller. She couldn't tell me the reason for her call or anything other than repeat the name of the person she wanted me to connect her with.
call asked for a 1st named person and when asked to ID themselves they just started to mumble,,,,,,when asked again and again to ID themselves and then asked to what this call was about....the caller really started to mumble and go on about who I was......I asked them several more times "WHAT DO YOU WANT".......the caller finally said "am I talking with ******", I then said I wasn't interested in what he was trying to say and I wasn't the person they were asking for.........then he went on again in a very low tone mumbling something about technology??......I then just hung up when it was clear this was one of those calls where the caller asks for the person by 1st name and has nothing else to offer in way of information about themselves......
also call asked for a first named person. The caller was mumbling. I just told her that you dailed the wrong number. She said Sorry, and hang on the phone quickly.

Same exact experience just now. Caller asked for me but mispronounced my first name. I asked what company and he would not answer, only asked again if I was the mispronounced me. I answered that I will see if she's available, what is this in reference to please? He answered abruptly, "Never mind, I'll call back" and hung up.
If they call again I will start the conversation by saying that I am reporting their phone number to the FCC for violations and that things will only be worse for them if the caller refuses to give me information on what company they're from and what the nature of the call is.
I googled the phone # and found this page:
http://www.callwiki.com/phones/view/857-453-3836
It says in part:
The phone number 857-453-3836 is assigned to BROADWING COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - MA and the actual exchange location is in BOSTON, MA.
So i googled Broadwing Communications and the 617 (boston) area code number listed for them starts out from asking for your passcode, as though to start a web conference. From other snippets i see in the Google search hit list, they sell voice communications, VoIP and apparently web conferencing too.
I am seriously considering reporting them and pointing to the reports on this page. Thanks, folks, for posting ... I was thrown off by that call and it was reassuring to know I"m not the only one (and that it wasn't a collector :-) )
