Heads up, these inbound calls from the Trade Pub line tend to follow a predictable script and often end abruptly when pressed for details. Callers usually pose as a trade publication, use an accented voice, and claim to need IT staff, but they rarely provide verifiable information. When you receive such a call, stay on the line long enough to gauge their intent, avoid sharing any internal contacts, and log the time and number for future reference. If the caller becomes evasive or hangs up, politely end the conversation and flag the number in your spam filter. A brief, firm script can deter repeat attempts.
A search for 'trade pub' on this platform reveals numerous posts, and my own experience with this number included a male caller with an accent who terminated the call when I asked a routine question, consistent with the negative interactions I've had with Trade Pub in the past
