Called me twice today -- they called from a local area code, so I assumed it was legitimate. The first time there was a very long pause where no one said anything, even though I was saying "hello" over and over, and finally they disconnected me. They called back again, another very long silence, and just as I was going to hang up, a woman with a completely incomprehensible accent started talking, and I think she said recruiter, but despite telling her several times that I do not understand what she is saying, she still kept talking and I still couldn't understand what she was saying. I am suspicious of this because I did not recognize anything else, in terms of any company. When I asked where she was calling from, she said U.S. And she called my mobile number, not my home phone, which I do not usually give out. It is possible that it may be a recruiter -- I have applied on line for several jobs -- but if it's a real recruiter, then they need to get someone who can at least converse in reasonable English. For that reason, I'm assuming this is suspect and blocking it.
