MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I just got a call from a chap called Patrick, who seemed to know me, but I'm absolutely stumped as to who he is. Anyway, very quickly into the call, whilst I was trying to rack my brain as to who he was, my phone battery went and we got cut off (he was mid-sentence).
Anyhoo, before I decide whether to call him back, I thought I'd see if I could fathom who he is. There's no long-lost Patrick I know on Facebook, LinkedIn, my Gmail contacts or my work mail contacts (he knew where I work, BTW, he asked me how it was going). I googled the mobile number and tracked it down to a contact number on this website:
www.chestnutpoolfrance.co.uk
Same name too, so that checks out. No surname though. How can I find out who the domain name is registered to?
That gives me godaddy.com, so I guess that's who built the site (or the platform he built the site on).
Hmmm...
Contact on the web site - a mobile phone and no address or landline
IP address geolocation - Switzerland
Nominet - no individual named, just Godaddy
I'd say phishing and would just leave it. Mobile phone numbers aren't hard to get
Ah, okay. Looking at his followers, I bet he's a recruitment fella. That would make sense, he said he was calling to let me know that he and *someone* had parted company, because *someone* had decided to take the company in a different direction. He asked how I was finding it at the place I am now, he'd heard good feedback about me(?). That's when we got cut off. He's obviously on the scout for leads.
This thread sent me off down a rabbit hole of looking at properties in France with lakes.

Please tell me "Has a lake" is a tick box on the property search along side "3 bedrooms" and the line
