DeVere Group Japan Cold calling
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2020 11:34 am
I noticed a few weeks ago that soneone from DeVere Group Japan had browsed my LinkedIn profile, and I immediatelly blocked them as I am aware of their reputation....
However this person was not going going to be deterred by such an action..
A couple of days ago I get a message from my secretary saying that a person from "DVG" (They intentionally did not leave their full company name) had called one of our other sales offices here in Japan looking for me and they left their number which was a Tokyo number.
I was curious who had called, on calling the number a few times I was taken straight to voice mail, which did not mention their company name, just a mesagein in Japanese basically saying " please leave your message"
This individual callled back, did not introduce themselves as is common in Japan, just started straight into a sales pitch...
I interrupted this sales pitch, demanding their company name, they paused for a while mentioned they were from DeVere, to which I replied I was not interested and ended the call.. These people have some nerve cold calling people at work...
Anyway if anyone else here receives such calls, be sure to do your reasearch
