I got a phone call from this number asking for the model number on my copier. THIS IS A SCAM. These people will send parts you didn't order and then bill you for them. DO NOT GIVE OUT THE MODEL NUMBER FOR ANY REASON. The woman on the phone said the company was Global Imaging something. They always hang up once they realize I won't give out the number and I can't get any other information on them.

They call from this number talking as vaguely and generally about "the copier that is there" trying to get you to divulge information so they may bill you for supplies or parts. They are scammers. Don't give them any information.
This has been going on forever! I am in charge of my company's telephone system. I have a designated extension just for all these loser telemarketers and believe me, I wear it out! I send every last one of them to that extension, let it ring off the hook, and go about my business. Eventually, they get bored and hang up! I don't know how much time they are allotted for each phone call, or if they're paid on commission, but I'm hoping they are all getting charged by the minute to repeatedly make these harassing phone calls!
I have worked the front desk at my company for 5 years and i have had to deal with these rude people the whole time. They sound upbeat when they call and say "hi, yes, good afternoon. how are you today?" you reply "thats great, hey i am updating system and need to send you out a new manual, can you help me with that please? i just need the serial number or the type of copier you have closest to you" they even ask for printers. Once you let them know that you know they are scammers.. you will laugh at the things they choose to call you before they hang up. Ive actually gotten into verbal arguments with some.. How is it possible that there is no way to track them? we have a number to them, and it leads you straight to a voicemail. Yet, no company name. I have tried to press 0, #, * to see if it will redirect my call, and i get nothing. this is so irritating.
Only been at this job a few months and they continues to call. Even before I was told to watch out for these scammers I've always been good at reading into calls such as these. I wonder if giving the address of the Mayors office or police department and a fake model number would help. If the city or police were billed they might be so inclined to track these [***]'s.
