Called saying they are calling from "Direct IT". Asked question about my work email. I asked a couple of probing questions. The guy was silent when I told to stop scamming and troubling people, which was very much evident. Please ignore this number if it calls you. They are phishing and scamming people. Thank you

They tried to validate my work email- they did not have it correct. They tried to get me to confirm where I worked and if I had left the company they mentioned. I confirmed nothing. I also tried to use iOS call record feature and each time this was switched off (and not by me) highly suspicious
