A gentleman by the name of Marvin Booth calls our office to speak with the owner when asked where he was calling from " He rudely replies "Is your owner there and if not, I will not be leaving a message and will call back and hang ups" Very rude and unprofessional.

Oh, but I had too much fun! While phone rang, I ran the number so answered it
"Minnesota State Troopers Spouse's Support Line, how can I help you to help your spouse today?"
Dead silence.
Me: helloo? Is there anyone there that I can help (I've got a Scottish accent, but I pumped it like I'd just walked off the ruddy moors!)
Breathing
Me: I can hear ya breathing there, dearie. As this is a tap and trace, governmental line, you'd best tell me who you are and for what purpose you be calling here, else you'll be having State Troopers showing up at your local very shortly, as we can see through spoofed lines...oh, Martin, is it?
How can I help you Martin? Is your spouse or partner a MN State Trooper?"
Him: "it is Marvin, not Martin, and no, my spouse isn't -- no, I'm not married."
Me: "are you sure? It says Martin Boot and it looks here like you live with your domestic partner, Brian."
Him: "NO! I'd know my own name and if I was married! And I'm not and I'm not!! And I'm not Martin, I'm Marvin Boothe, not like a boot you wear, and Brian was just my roommate we weren't partners or anything! Dear God, how can you ask such things!!" (All but yelling now)
Me: "This is just what the warrants and charges will say, about you calling this number with the intent to steal any identity, monies, or information from any person answering the phone. But instead, you've given me your name, your number, your roommate's name, your identity information -- and you don't know me from Adam's off ox.
Say goodbye to the donation you're making to the widows and orphans fund of the Minnesota Law Enforcement Memorial, Marin A Boothe!"
