[Today’s run: nothing yet]<\/p>\n
I received two phone calls this week from people claiming to work for Oracle.\u00a0 Both just wanted to know about how I am using Oracle products.\u00a0 Both went through a script of various areas of concern, security, upgrades, etc.\u00a0 Professional sounding stuff.<\/p>\n
I have received these calls before from both males and females, with India accents.\u00a0 They want to know if I am interested in Grid Control, or Management Packs.<\/p>\n
The frustrating thing is that I go through what I’m doing and what my plans are, and they pay zero attention.\u00a0 I may get another call next week or six months from now and they don’t know who I am or what I’m doing… and I am kind of tired of going through it all over and over.<\/p>\n
They tell me they work for Oracle.\u00a0 They may even drop some names of Oracle reps.\u00a0 Not that I would know much about that area since I seldom talk to real Oracle sales reps.\u00a0 Have nothing against them, just have little reason to call them.\u00a0 So these guys pretend to be calling from Oracle but I don’t think they really work for Oracle.\u00a0 Would Oracle be that disorganized?<\/p>\n
Today I opened a trouble ticket on Oracle’s technical support website about these calls.\u00a0 I realize that is not really the appropriate venue but it is the one I have.\u00a0 I want to know:\u00a0 A)\u00a0 if these people really work for Oracle and B) if so, how come they don’t know anything about me when they call and C) if they are just cold calling, how to get me off of their list.<\/p>\n
