Called offering white papers on electronics products, wanted me to confirm an email address that wasn't mine.

These guys called 5 times today w/o leaving a message. I say shut them down!...

My phone display says CBS Interactive.  Didn't answer the phone.

Received Call at work number. now sure what it was about. Didn't answer.

Even I received a call today on my cell. I missed the call and they didnt leave any msg.

They called and asked for Jim Parsons. This is not a joke. This IS  a legitiamte number.

They got my info through Verisign.  I know this for a fact.  Trying to sell virtualization software.  I declined all requests and at the end asked me my favorite color.  Very strange.

called my cell # but did not leave message. I don't pick up calls from unrecognized #'s. they should shut this down.

I've been getting calls from this number everyday. I do not answer if I don't recognize the number.  I did a search online and the only thing I found is that it's a cell number.

Totally bogus.  They probably will send you an email and then bomb goes your computer. You just been hacked.  Now this is domestic terrorism.

Sent an obfuscated link.  No way I will click on that.

Hello.

I got a call from this number he said he called on behalf of Google and talked blah all about servers he suddenly asked me what is the favorite color

called me this morning and told me he was calling me from Google. He asked me for my favorite color and when I asked him if he was really calling from Google, he hung up. I then received an email with the following text


"Thank you for your interest

Following on from our recent telephone conversation, please use the links below to download your complimentary resources from Google.

The link behind the last line led to "http://m.cbslnk.com/zDsGyGDBGG/cgD5F"

Took the call today, said they were calling on behalf of Google, was very much like a Social engineering Q and A with confused information about both work and private information.   The Fav color just threw red flags all over.

Got a call from this number today - on my cell, which is pretty weird since it is supposed to be on the National Do Not Call listing.

Read above posts - answering anything bordering on a personal question (like what's your favorite color) is "risky".  Have had security questions in the past ask the same thing.......

That favorite color thing threw up my firewalls and I asked in not so nice words, why the hell he wanted it.

How many websites ask you for favorite color as part of there security and this fool wanted it.

this caller has called 5 times in the middle of the night!  We keep making complaints - to the company to better business bureau - shut them down!

This Bozo said he was calling from Hewlett-Packard (pronounced it incorrectly). He had my personal cell phone number, my hotmail email address, my old home address, the name of the company I currently work for, and a job title from a decade and a lifetime ago. I was suspicious, but he dropped the names CNet and TechRepublic, so I thought maybe he was going on some old info on a form from long ago. He didn't recognize the name of the international media giant company I work for, and wanted to know what they do. Um. DUH. It will be a slam dunk to find in a Google search. But then he asked my favorite color and I told him it sounded like social engineering and that I was no longer interested and hung up. So how do I report this guy for fishing?

This number called my cell phone. Caller ID showed it coming from San Francisco. When I answered there was a voice saying CBS Verification, January 31, and then click. Called it back and a recording came on saying no calls were being accepted at this time, and that the mailbox was full. Called back a second time, and this time a male voice answered, Hello this is CBS Direct. Went on to say no one could answer the phone at this time, please a message. Then the female voice, same as the first one, filled in that the mailbox was full and no messages could be taken at this time.

Caller said his name was James calling from Google, and he was going to send a link to my e-mail address (correct address) that would take me to an "On Demand" tutorial on Cloud technology and how it can help businesses, etc.
Really? Google called me? Strange he didn't want to send the link to my GMail account; you'd think Google would know I had one. May be a good thing this guy only had one of my junk accounts.
