Following Phone number displayed: 786-587-1516. We've been instructed to take down as much info as we can and forward it to our security.

    Paetec is a VoIP telecom..
    VoIP is commonly used by telemarketing call centers, but also by overseas scammers.
    Asking for various employees is consistent with an aggressive sales call, but maybe also a business scam, such as a fake "directory listing" or "toner" shakedown scam.
    It could also be a fake "debt collection" shakedown scam, where they try to use harassing calls to coworkers to "intimidate" and embarrass victims into paying money without any proof it's owed.

    Nothing shows up under the phone number.
    If it's a scam, complaints will probably show up under the number in a few days.
    If Paetec's system is being used for fraudulent and extortionate calls, contact Paetec directly to report the problem.  They can shut down the account.
