They call and call and never leave a message...

Received a call for my prior CFO.  Forwarded to me, CEO and they hung up.  Tried to dial the number back and it goes dead.

They called, mentioned my name, and then I said "yes", and then they hangup.

Answered the call, line went dead. No speaking on the other side of the call.

Foreign sales call asking for people that do not work here.

calls multiple times everyday even though I have been asked to be removed from their call list.  blatantly lies and claims to have never called before.  Always wants to send a free whitepaper.

It's some call center out of India.  They won't identify the company, they won't identify their reason for calling.  They just insist that they have to speak to the person they are asking for.  They seem to be hunting for executives in the company.  They say they want to send you a white paper, but they don't seem to know what a white paper is, what it is about, or why they are sending it.  I asked them if it was anything beyond an Indian call center being paid to troll for people's information and they hung up.  They are calling on the worst connection I've heard in years.

They might be trying to get executive names for spearphishing :

Spear phishing

Phishing attempts directed at specific individuals or companies have been termed spear phishing. Attackers may gather personal information about their target to increase their probability of success. This technique is, by far, the most successful on the internet today, accounting for 91% of attacks.

Weird indian dude asking about pornography (I think - I couldn't understand him).

I just received the same call asked my name and then hung up.  I was able to call back and asked who this was  the man on the other end hung up

Same callers as mentioned below but now I usually get a follow-up call from 215-587-8741 about 1 minute afterwards.

East Indian accent looking for an employee who used to work with us. When I told him that we don't have that employee here, he insisted. I HUNG UP!

This number has called a few times in the last week. I've let the call go to voicemail each time. A message is never left.

I have received 6 calls from this number over the past 2-3 weeks, I never answer it as it's not tagged with a name. 800notes.com is so helpful to us, thank you.

I got a call from them and just started saying Allah Akbar over and over....they got scared and hung up. Scared the little indian scammers!

They called me today at 10:15am, 10:40am, 10:52am and 1:06pm. I did not pick up and they do not leave a voicemail.

They called, I answered with my name and they lurked silently in the background, not saying anything but I could hear their keyboard.  I started whistling and they hung up.  I called them back and they hung up.  Called them from another line and they hung up.  This is actually kind of fun, Thinking about setting up a wardialer against that number.  Even better if I list that number as the caller to that number.

Called 7 times between 6:31 am and 8:17 am. Didn't leave a message.

had this number as a missed call on my work number phone..no message...glad to see the info everyone has posted so I can ignore any future calls or report them!

They say they are from VoIP wanting to send us a whitepaper. We have asked over and over and over to be removed but they still keep calling.
