I received a similiar call today. After repeatedly telling "michael" that I would not give him our information. He demanded to speak to my boss. He got progressively more assertive as I continued to refuse his requests. I finally informed him that I was at this point requesting that he stop calling and that I was finding the call harassing. I then asked for his name and the company he worked for (e-secure yellow pages). And then asked for his phone number. In which he repeated my phone number. When I told him that was my number he told me that I didn't know what I was talking about. So I said fine, please hold, and then conferenced him into another line as I called "his" #. He at that point became very irate and demanded to speak to my manager. I told him not to call anymore and hung up.
I received several calls from this number over the past 3 days. I spoke to them to tell them I do not give information out over the phone. I also told them this is a business and they are harrasing us and to please stop calling. They then call again same day. What can be done about this does anybody know?
