At work, I keep getting these calls from a guy, (with a very thick accent that I can barely understand) from "Yellow Pages" trying to update my business listing. Then when he confirms the info he wants to transfer me to "another department" so that they can confirm the info as well. I just hang up at that point. Then he calls back disgruntled, and I tell him he has to hold for the business owner, and he hangs up. We just updated our business listing a month ago, so i know it is not Yellow Pages.
I had the same thing happen with a similar call updating info for a discount, but from Verizon. I was told to say YES to everything, including "Do you confirm changing your plan from blah to blah?" I confronted them. And when I told them that my boss' husband was a big time lawyer, and I did want to get into trouble for updating info that I wasn't supposed to, they quickly said good-bye and hung up.
