Subject: FN-FORUM: Weird phone call
Someone just phoned me and said, "Hello, this is Sue, I'm just doing a mail
shot for the directors..." I interrupted and asked her "Sue who?" as I
really can't think of any companies I'm currently dealing with who have
secretaries called Sue, or who wouldn't say their surnames or company names.
The woman then said, "That's a bit rude, just forget it" and slammed the
phone down... Que???? I'm now racking my brains to trying to think of anyone
called Sue who might be expecting assistance with a Word mailshot.

Sounds like a 'fishing trip' to me - I get similar calls from time-to-time
and they usually hang up once you start asking them who they are and where
they're from. If it's a genuine enquiry from a customer and you get a call
back from "one of the Directors", just explain that the secretary didn't
introduce herself adequately and you prefer not to divulge information to
anonymous callers!
