danielwd:When I speak on the phone to some orgainsations, and ask for their name, they will often only provide the first name, and they say they can't give their last name.
This is getting really precious. It's usually a way of avoiding any personal responsibility. "John who?"
I've heard a few ways of thinking on this:
1. They are dodgy and don't want to disclose
2. The corporate body doesn't want to lay responsibility with any "one person" so doesn't give out names, or gives out false names (like call centres).
3. It could be potentially dangerous on corporate or personal grounds to give out names of who is on the phone.
I think "1" in most cases.
Still, the ol' companies search at least can give you director details. I've just done a quick look around 6 reseller hosts. None have a name to contact. Most don't have a physical address, or if they do - its either wrong or a private house.
