Man called Ivan rang from 'CGL' asking to speak to one of the Directors by name, clearly spam, so I asked him to send an email to our shared inbox. He said very rudely 'so I'm expected to send a highly confidential email to the whole office, that's perfect' and then hung up. Not going to make many sales with that aggressive attitude are you Ivan.

My gut said this was a scam. After reading the other calls here, it looks like I was right. Same as pretty much all the others... He was very polite and pleasant. It was an American man on the phone. He didn't give me his name but said he was calling from CGL. He asked for our director by name. When told the director couldn't take his call, he wouldn't give any more information so I could direct his call elsewhere. He said it was a personal matter and that he would call back. He then did the well-known Americanism of wishing me a nice day.
Asked to speak to a Director, i was told the call was confidential, asked for an email address for said director, as i said he wasn't in, i said i could give a sales email address... he said, that's not confidential, never mind "i will have to sort it" whatever that meant, hung up- i think this was a scam
Asked to speak to director by name, said she had a call from a John Cooper and could not give me any other details. Calling from CGL
John from CGL asking to speak to the director by name?
Asked to speak to director, said she had a call from a John Cooper and could not give me any other details. Calling from CGl.
asked to speak to the owner and when I said doesn't take calls she hung up
American gentleman greeted with hiya, hope you're having a lovely day.... then asked for the Director by name but could only say it was a personal business matter. Our Directors don't take cold calls. He said OK have a fabulous weekend.
Woman phoning and wont give any information away. Blatant marketing call trying to fish for email address of Director. Get a real job love.
Same as last report - said were calling CGL and requested director name. Said wouldn't send enquiry to generic email as would contain 'John's personal email address.
Lady said they she needed to speak to our owner (requested by name) and said she had a call from John Cooper but was unable to give me any information at all just said she would call back
