For years (YEARS) these people call - different number, same person (2 people actually). I know they want the IT Department but somehow they got the name of a field employee and ask for him. Usually I just hang up, today I sent it to the Jolly Roger Robot.
"John" called my mobile phone. Asked for someone that does work at the company I work for, but had his title completely wrong. When I asked who he was with he said "Technology Research Assets". When I said, "this sounds like a telemarketing call", he said, "no, it's a sales call". I said I wasn't comfortable giving any more information.

Someone called today asking for "Nolan." When I said I didn't know anyone by that name, she pressed that she would wait while I check our corporate directory! I asked her information and offered to take a message (there's no directory!). Second call, I told her it's against company policy to participate in surveys and take us off the list. Third call, again told her to take us off list. Forth call, she hung up but call was from same number. Fifth call, I told her there is no "Nolan" here and remove us from the list immediately. Think she'll try again? Probably! Dumbass.
Calls repeatedly, most often asking for people never even associated with our company. They get very defensive when asked what the call is regarding. When asking what company they are from, they hang up.
