"Oh, okay, thanks anyway." I hung up, now possessing a key piece of information that would gain me credibility. I then called the internal Telecommunications Department, gave the name I had obtained of a manager in Accounting, and said we had a contractor coming to work on-site who would need a number assigned to him so he could receive voicemail. The lady I was talking to set up a voicemail account. I dialed it and set "3825" as a password. Then I left an outgoing voicemail message: "This is Ralph Miller. I’m away from my desk, please leave a message."
