I had the same situation just now. He also had a thick, Indian accent. I have had legitimate Indians call me before, so this is unfortunate.
He said he was a recruiter with Microsoft services and he switched to Acro Services by the end of our conversation.
He said was calling about a position with General Electric. He talked about a position I had actually seen open online. I initially agreed until he said my birthdate and the last 4 numbers of my social security and my birthdate were required.
No recruiter has ever asked for that information before. He was tenacious and wouldn't let up, but I politely rejected.
He said he would send me an email. He didn't do that. I just called the number back, and there was just an automated phone woman's voice with no regards to a company.
Be careful! They should always send you a copy of the job posting first!
