SCAM! Who knows what they even wanted but a gentleman by the supposed name of William Smith called for an individual in our office. I asked him what company he was with and he said he was not with one, but that his cousin John Marsh (March?) was friends with our employee and gave him some documents that he needed to talk about. I knew it was a scam based on the information provided and he became agitated that I was asking him questions. When I put him on hold he of course hung up.
We received a call at our business asking to speak to the owner. The man had an Indian accent and said his name was "John Smith". He kept saying he had documents to discuss with the owner and then got very nasty with me when I asked what they were in reference to. When I asked what company he was with he responded he wasn't with a company. Then he responded, "Why should I tell you what the documents are about?" When I pressed, he hung up on me.
Male with a very heavy indian accent called asking for Carol Frazier, there is nobody at this company by that name, which I told him. A lot of background noise and it was very difficult to hear him. He had to repeat everything 3-4 times. When I told him there is nobody here by that name he proceeded to spell it for me several times to which I responded with, yep, there is still nobody here by that name. He asked me to check my global directory. Who in the hell has a global directory anyway? It's very annoying and frustrating to be bothered by these stupid calls while we're trying to work.
Same as all of these, called looking for Steven after i picked up the phone saying my name. After asking Steven's last name he said 'so your name is (first name, last name)?' to which I replied yes? The caller then said, let me call you back in a minute. Then number said out of service.
