Number overview
054-333-9247 is reported as a predatory sales call introducing itself as the "Telemarker Group" and using a PC security test as a pretext to demand a home visit.
Reported tactics
- At the end of the month, the caller demands to speak with the president directly
- The caller says, "We'd like to come over, borrow your PC, and run a security test to check for unauthorized access"
- During the visit, the caller may push a high-cost security-software contract
- Some reports mention prior trouble around website-cancellation issues with the same outfit
