A lady called and asked for the CEO by his first name.  I told her he was not in and she refused to leave a name or number and quickly hung up.

A "lady?" named Carol called here and also asked for the CEO by name.  He said to get her # because he did not know her.  She was annoyed and asked in a very annoyed voice if I had a pen - I replied "of course I do - this is an office". She said she didn't need this "*^&%$".  I hung up when she used profanity.  she called back 1 minute later and called me "a piece of trash"!!!
I called them back and asked for a manager - I ws given the run around and then a very young man got on the phone. No satisfaction - but he did want my name, company & # - I refused.

They are a financial firm and they are constantly making cold calls to sell/pitch.  That's why you guys had that sort of conversation.

A guy called and he knew my name.  I am a CEO of a software firm and he said that he is following up on that we were looking for "capital".  I told him the company had been acquired and hung up. He said he was with Houlihan Smith

a guy called from this phone number asked for the person in charge of the company (he knows our company name by the way).  So I asked who is calling, he pulsed for a second then asked "is HE there?",  I told him SHE is actually out of town now and what is the nature of his business.  The moron did not answer my question and asked another one: "when is he... I mean SHE coming back?"  I lost my patience, and told him I have no clue because she is visiting a foreign country and it can take weeks."  then he hung up, before I had the chance to swear at him.  Why swear at him you might ask, because his tone was demanding, sounded like he's the #%*!ing boss.
