Called my house over lunch. We are on state & Federal do not call lists.

no idea who this is.. I said 'Hello' and nothing but dead air... figured it was a telemarketer thing . hung up.

Just called our business for the thousand-th time!  DIE, you freaking dead air retards, die.

[***] telemarketer calling for business listeing. 'splained that this was a private number and to remove the listing and not call back. He asked for the name of the person on the phone listing, I told him that was not important, and to please remove the number from his call list. This [***] gets hostile about how he MUST have the name of the person who owns the number before he can remove it.. .. I said 'bob' and he starts looking it up on his list.

I disconnected while he looked it up.

Who the hell do these people think they are? Pushy, Demanding phone monkeys who act like we owe them our information. Why can't we politely say 'please remove this number from you call list' and be done with it?

They asked me for a bunch of info to verify our online business posting.  I started to give them the harmless stuff they could easily find on Google.  Then they asked for my full name and birthday "as a verification code."  I told them I was uncomfortable giving out this info to people I did not know, and I hung up.  They immediatly called me back and asked why I hung up.  I again explained my problems, but told them I could take down their name and number and have my father (the business owner) call them back.  She argued with me a bit over why I should give them this info, when I again asked her for her info again, she hung up.  Don't even answer the phone when you see the number.  Total scam.
