In the last couple of weeks i have had 3 enquiries about work on different Porsche's each time the person on the phone was very cagey about the information they gave out, were reluctant to leave a phone number and also saying the car was their bosses or a relations in the area but never certain where abouts in the area just close to me if i did manage to get a number they would never answer but always ring back within a couple of minutes, each time i have asked to see the car as autodata have no times.

There are 3 of us all bosch car service within 15 miles of each other all had the same calls just wondered if anyone else had suffered the same fate and could possibly shed soem light on the calls.I am assured it is not bosch making the calls, mystery shopping us.

Hi Kelly,
I think it must be Bosch or the OFT as I have had the call. I then warned a couple of others, whom have also recieved the same calls & they are also fellow BCS's. Was yours an Indian sounding gentleman by any chance, followed by a young very english well spoken young lady asking the same questions?
HTH mate,

Hi Gunner

Thanks for the reply the mystery deepens i have had all Indian people both male and female no English girls yet.

I spoke to my Bosch rep and he said the way it had been hadnled it was very unlikely it was Bosch behind it and he thought like me they would use a more volunme car than Porsche to gain a better response as they are more of a specialist type car.

Yes I have received 3 or 4 calls from an indian sounding gentleman asking for a quote for front & rear brake discs & pads for a porsche 993, asking for the cost, then a breakdown of the prices for front & rear etc.... then saying that he hopes to book in soon & just has to confirm the prices for his boss who owns the car??!!

somethings not right, i cant believe other places are getting the same scenario??
