A woman called asking for a director by name. Said that John Cooper wanted to be connected through to him. I asked my usual questions trying to work out if it's a general call. She was very vague and said she couldn't provide any information and just wanted to be connected through. I advised this wasn't possible and could I take a number and message and I'd get them to call John back. She very quickly said that John would find another way to contact him and hung up. Similar to the below. Blocked!

Ivan called from CGL asking to speak to the Director - about a private issue - said he was on leave for a substantial time, he hung up!

Person called from 'CGL' looking to speak with named director of business. When asked what the call was about, American chap was rude and couldnt fathom why I wouldnt put them through without further information.

Spam/Scam - Linda called asking to speak to 'Peter', didn't know who he was or what he did, wanted to talk about a 'project'. Tried to get an email address. Harrassing, not the first time I've dealt with them. AVOID!

Called asking for our director (knew his first name, probably looked up online). When I asked what's it about, to check if anyone else can help, he said if I can't give him directors email he will send letter instead. Sounds suspicious.
