We have just started receiving these calls from the same number sequences. Ours call in speaking in French and ask to speak with someone in French. They also ask dumb things like if we have Facebook or ask to speak with Celebrity names, asking for Michael Jackson. They also call us a b____ if you don't answer the question or tell them the line is recorded. They're very annoying but nothing seems to be able to be done with them. We usually just put them on hold and see how long they'll hold for. Luckily we don't have call stats here so it gives us mild satisfaction.
If you don't have call stats and you don't have call quality, I highly recommend Google Translate - it has the option to translate your statements (including curse words ;)) and play them back through your computer speakers. You could have a very fun conversation with a caller this way if you were so inclined. I haven't done so yet, but I haven't put it out of my thought since they only seem to call in the evenings at our center.
Hope someone shuts them down, but I doubt it will happen. Best of luck!
