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.
Called and attempted to bypass our screener by saying they were from a hospital and it was personal matters. Scammer, spammer, scum, what ever you want to call them.
this number called our dental practice asking about fees for specific types of treatment. he asks how much for a cleaning for himself without insurance, then his wife would like a cleaning. the background noise was the first tip off but then when i gave them our whitening special price he wanted to know the full retail price. then asked me to break down the individual cost for cleanings. i told him i wasn't going to do that and he hung up.
Called, requested to be transferred to me. Was using coworkers name, so I accepted the transfer. I could hear the sweatshop in the background, and it seems like they are verifying names of certain individuals to pose as in phishing attempts.
A woman with a very heavy Indian accent called from this number, asking for the VP of our office. There was lots of background noise, like she was in a call center. I asked her who was calling, and she repeated the person she was calling for. I asked her several more times who was calling, and she kept forcefully repeating our VP's name. Finally I said what is your name, and she said something I couldn't understand. I said I would check if the VP was in, and I put her on hold. She didn't hang up after several minutes, so I got back on the line and said he's not in and asked if she wanted his voicemail. She said she did, but I don't know if she left a voicemail. Sounded like a scam.
