1432.0. "Unix for NTC in France?" by RDGENG::GRIFFITHSR () Tue May 13 1997 14:27

    
    Yesterday, I have received a strange telephone call from a Karen Davies
    (British name but a French accent) who works for NTC in France.  She was 
    trying to contact someone in Digital Engineering about some embedded Unix 
    code we are writing for them.  She spoke to someone at the beginning of 
    May but cannot remember their name.
    
    Does any of this ring bells?
    
    I contacted our Customer Care people and when they tried to ring her on
    0033 1418 60000, their switchboard had not heard of her.
    
    Apparently, she rang a colleague of mine about a week ago so I do not
    think this is a hoax.

1432.1Treat as suspect!BEORN::16.184.5.118::BOWMANWed May 14 1997 14:597
Richard,

We are currently a lot of what are called "social engineering" calls of this 
type in the US from people seeking information. In absence of more information 
I would treat it as suspect and advise security.
