It can be a very convincing trick… “You can check the number in your display online sir. You’ll see I’m really calling from your bank.” That is, of course, if you are unaware that phone numbers can be spoofed. Then again, they wouldn’t be successful scammers if they weren’t convincing. If you suggest calling them…

Hung up on the person after he said that he was calling from a marketing company.
They tried a second call right away, but was denied.

They were fishing for information, and found my number on linkedin; they called me on viber.

Phishing. I informed the caller that this kind of information recovery and/or sales pitch is illegal according to danish law (which he denied he was doing of course). I repeatedly asked him to spell out his name and business, but he kept saying it very fast. I kept asking him where he had acquired my number and he just kept saying from a database of potential customers (suckered, so you want to sell me something!). After that i hung up.
