8003080196

This is the second week that I've received calls from this number, 800-308-0196.  No messages are left, and this has been happening about 2-3 times a week.

Ok, lets see. By just the reports on this site Global "Clueless" Knowledge has had a problem with their phone system for years. Calls from 800.308.0196 come to my office phone & my cell phone. The calls come in, ....and hangup???? Nice marketing feature of that phone system, don't you think? So this is what I think is going on: 1. Global Clueless VP of Marketing came up with this great marketing idea. Call people randomly and hang-up on them. 2. When they call back and ask why you keep calling, they ask if you have need for their IT services. That's right, I'm going to do business with an IT company that cannot figure out their own phone system. 3. Then act surprised that you don't know your phone system is making thousands of unsolicited hang-up calls?

I say open season on calling 800.308.0196. We're a real IT company and I'm thinking I'll program our phone system to call them every 15 minutes and hang-up. Yes, some companies do know how to program their phone system.

I am getting calls from this number 3 times a day. 800-308-0196. Seriously, quit calling me. It is annoying. This is a work number you are calling. Find some other way to slow the economy GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE.

I received a call today, no voicemail message left.  Professional companies left professional voicemails.  I dealt with Global Knowledge before they changed their name.  I don't mind voicemails if there are special promotions or deals but no voicemail irritates me and makes me rethink on how will be getting my training business.

Been calling my office every day this week.  Name on caller ID shows as "TOLL FREE CALL" which by my experience is usually a telemarketer (or maybe a bill collector), so I don't answer calls like that.  Legitimate calls will usually have the real name of a person or company.  Found out by a Google search that it's Global Knowledge.  The first day they left a voicemail, but all it said was "I'd like to speak with Matthew."  That was it...no name of the person who was calling, no company name, no callback number.  The other days they haven't left any messages.  Some of my co-workers have gone to training at Global Knowledge recently, but I haven't...so not sure why they'd be calling me, where they got my number from, or why they would be asking to speak with someone named Matthew on that first day.  My name is not Matthew.

VERY ANNOYING!

Same Deal. Very annoying. I have picked up numerous times but no one answers. finall stopped ignoring

Not that I am attempting to condone the no messages or hang ups (yes, I get them too!), but I would like offer this:

Q.  How does Global Knowledge get your work / cell number or email address?  
A.  Some of you have said that some of your co-workers have been to a Global Knowledge class.
    Having taken many GK classes I can tell you that They do this wonderful little raffle drawing on the
    last day of class where your co-workers fill out cards of people they (your co-workers) think might
    be interested in taking a training class through GK.  So your co-workers GAVE them your name,
    email address and phone numbers.  So thank them for that.  Don’t blame GK for something that
    one of your co-workers did  to get a free water bottle or hat!

    In addition, if you have been to a convention like the Cisco Live 2011 in Las Vegas and you
    stopped by and got a free tee shirt, they scanned your badge and bingo, they have all the
    information that you registered with.


Just something to think about before you go bashing this or any company publically.

If you signed up for TechRepublic then thats how the company got your #. Just trying to sell IT training classes, pretty harmless.

Just called this number and request Global Knowledge remove me from their calling list. A very polite guy said it would be done.

Global Knowledge.  I have asked them to stop bothering me, but they persist.

These are lame India outsourcers... THEY SUCK  and I hope they will quit calling me.
