Indian accent man. Possible Scam

Indian accent man. Possible Scam

Indian accent. asked for person at this office by name.  when that person got on the line, he said her first name, she said yes, he hung up.

Same thing as above; I am reporting this number to the BBB and to our campus system for blocking;

Same here, called and asked by first name, then asked my last name and hung up.

Number called mutliple times throughout the day.... this last phone call a male with an indian accent spewed profane language at me when I refused to transfer his call. He said he is going to report me....ironic...

Called 8/30/17 , man with Indian accent reporting to be from a law firm- hung up after I asked him for more details

Claimed to be from UPS. Asked for an employee by name, when she answered he asked it she was that person and then he hung up.

Called my office 8/30, asked to speak with me, when coworker tried to transfer the call he had hung up.
Said his name was Mike from UPS. Sounds like a scam.

1-832-556-2829 called law firm this morning. Indian accent man said he was Dr. Mosh(?) and asked for employee by name, when employee answered, he again said he was Dr. Mosh(?) asked employee if he was speaking to specific name of employee, she said yes and he hung up.

Female (Indian accent?) asked for employee by name.  Similar to above--when employee answered, caller asked if speaking to specific employee, when she said yes, caller hung up.  Called back number and got recorded "reached number that has been disconnected or no longer in service."

Received call at 12:08 today.  Man w/ Indian accent, asked if it was **(insert my name), I replied, "this is she". He said he was calling from doctors office to tell me that I am pregnant, is this good news?  I'm thinking prank call and respond, this is WONDERFUL news, where are you calling from?  He says "but this is good news?" Again I respond "this is WONDERFUL news" and then he asked if I was married so I said that is not what I asked you.  He again said, but this is good news?  pauses then Are you married?  I again just repeat that is not was I asked him and he hung up.  After a lot of thinking as to what this was about, someone finally hit the nail on the head.  HE was trying to get me to say "yes".  Note above most calls ended when the person responded "yes".  Probably records "yes" and uses to say I agreed to something...BEWARE!

Scam.  Do not say "yes" in reply to your name.

We are getting 8 calls a day from this number.  They ask for a school district that is 8 hours away.  When we try to give them the correct number (hoping they move on) they hang up.  Indian accent.  How'd you like to have that job?

How many times will you allow them to call before you obtain a call blocker?

The phone call was transferred to me at my work. Told my admin staff his name was Jason with ESC and he was returning my call. When I answered with my name, there was nothing on the other end. 1-832-556-2829. Called back and it said that that the number has been disconnected or no longer ______.

This just happened to me. He called my workplace and asked for me by name. The receptionist transferred to me and he said is this (my first name) I hesitated. Then he said is this (my first and last name) I said yes and then he hung up. Now I'm worried what it going to happen.

This number called me at my work and asked for me by name, because of where I work it's not uncommon for someone to call for me so of course I say "yes" and they hangup. It was an indian guy with broken english and he said he worked at a law firm (coincidence? so do I). After he hungup he immediately called me from a different number - 919-692-6064

Last time it was UPS, today, Kaiser hospital.

He said my name and then immediately hung up.  ???
