Calls my cell at least once a week. I usually don't answer (as it's a long distance area code). When I did decide to answer, there was no one on the other end.

didn't answer, no voice mail

A caller asked for my son's phone number and e-mail as a job prospect.  He had an Indian accent.  He told me Joe Adkins would be calling him in the next few days.  He asked if my son has a real estate license.  He said this wasn't a "cold call."

The company called in respose to my resume.  The agent does speak English but the Indian accent is so thick he is hard to understand.  This is a copy of the email they sent to me..
