| 1204939 | 2011-05-26 07:38:00 | We all know about the friendly people who call saying you have infections on your PC.:devil But today I got a call very similar but not to do with viruses - usual routine , phone rings, when you answer it, silence for a few moments, then "click" and they start going on about doing Web Design for your business in an almost pushy way. Told them not interested and hung up. Later in the afternoon they called back again, different person this time, but still Indian ascent and VERY bad engwish ;) A customer of mine also had a call yesterday so she was saying,she runs a small home business.(She also hung up) Change of attack for the scams I wonder ? |

| 1204942 | 2011-05-26 09:47:00 | Looks like that # has 47 complaints already (www.phonespamfilter.co.nz). And it may have something to do with webgenius.co.nz. One of the replies say its slingshot telemarketers | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1204944 | 2011-05-26 09:55:00 | Didn't happen to notice the caller ID for the calls did you? Was it 069299435? Both times they called I was out in the workshop, that phone doesn't have a caller ID display, and for some reason unless I answer calls on the office phone that wont pick up the number from out side. One thing, they did ask for me by the Offical business name, and my name as the owner. Same thing with the lady I mentioned in the original post, they knew her Name and Business name. |
