Indian male on the phone. Asked for our IT director, who often gets spam calls, so I asked the guy who he was and where he was calling from. Said his name was David from Technology Projects. I asked the IT director if he wanted to take the call and he did. Transferred the call and the guy called back saying he got sent to voicemail and then asked for our CAO. Figured it was definitely a spam call and left him on hold.
caller id: Unavailable 443 301 240 257. Caller asked for executive by first & last name and extension. He said his name is Shawn, calling from IT Business Plus. (His accent informs me that Shawn is his "call name.") When I asked what kind of company IT Business Plus is...if it's a publication, he said, "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and as I replied with "hello" to him each time, he finally said something so fast I could not understand him. He sounded like Beaker from The Muppet Show. That made me smile and want to hear more, so I told him that I did not understand him and asked if he would repeat himself. Through clenched teeth, he said, very slowly, "Will. You. Please. Check. To. See. If. (first name). (last name). is. in. Udderwise. I. Send. Email."
I told him to please not send an email and I asked for his call back number. He hung up!
Telemarketer zero. Receptionist one.
Clearly an overseas call center. He asked for the owner by name. When I asked what it was regarding, he said that he was trying to email us a document for for us to "open and view". Hell no.

Called in from +1 444 330 124 0257 and claimed to be from Technology Global. Asked for a few people by name but when told they were unavailable wanted to ask me a 10 question survey on VOIP services that they claim to be providing for us. Obviously they are not. Very difficult to understand and lots of background call center noise.
Called asking to speak with our assistant sales manager. Told him that he is in a daily meeting. Asked me to transfer him to any available manager....they are all in the same meeting. He said he will call back and hung up. Obvious cold call.
