Today I received a call from this phone number and they left a message on my answering machine. Caller ID showed it as "BACKBONE COMMUN". The man said his name was "BJ" and that he was calling from "Mind Labs"(???) about a job opportunity. I'm not certain if he said "Mind Labs" as it was difficult to understand him, because he sounded like he was looking away from the phone. He also had a thick accent which made him sound like he was from India or the Middle East. I did post my resume on career-related websites; however, he called me by my usual name instead of my birth name (my birth name is on my resume and career-related websites). Since this is the first call, I would normally ignore it; however, I decided to check the Internet. I discovered "BACKBONE COMMUN" has used other phone numbers in the past and harassed people by calling as much as 5 or 6 times in a day! It is true that this post is based on suspicions more than anything else; however, if other posts appear for this phone number, then my intuition was correct. If I find out I'm wrong, I will return with a post apologizing and attempt to remove my post.
