Received 3 or 4 calls within a week from this number, Asking for the HR Department. When we asked some more details of the caller, She was unable to elaborate the purpose of the call and exactly who / what company was calling.
CALLED CLAIMING TO OFFER FREE COPIES OF FLEET NEWS MAGAZINE - TO CONTINUE TO DO SO I HAD TO OFFER COMPANY DETAILS -
TOLD HER I WAS HANGING UP AS SCAM NUMBER - SHE AGREED
Called claiming to be from an industrial plant magazine wanting to check they had our correct details to send their free magazines too.
I answered some generic questions - confirm company address then she wanted to know to town I was born in.
Very strange so hung up.
I just fell for this number! What will happen now? I didnt answer all the questions truthfully, Thought it was irrelevant. What can they scam with the information they have? They already had all the info.
Number has called me multiple times in the past two weeks... I blocked the number a couple of days ago and now i am getting blank voicemails from them...
Asked to speak to one of our stylists in a hairdressers when I said they were all busy she refused to say who it was and give a number for me to get back to them on and said she'll call back herself later
Rang my office number, Said they were from HVP magazine, Asking me loads of questions about plumbing and heating which is the industry I work in. Then said it was the final question asked me what was the colour of my first car? I hung up and blocked the number.
Called to speak to manager about the free magazines, I told them all magazines go for recycling and they are not required so delete us from their mailing list. They said they would update their system.
Waste of time telemarketing, They try to fool you saying that they call to update adress database in behalf of some free magazine (Aftermarket in my case) Im a garage owner.
They getting paid for confirming and sourcing company details complete waiste of your time.
I requested they took the details of our company off their mailing list due to the change in the law about how companies use our information and as operator just kept saying he would make a note I asked to speak to a manager and then they just hung up.
