This is a quasi-legitimate call.  It is Dun & Bradstreet soliciting their services, the value of which are somewhat debatable in this age.  They use scumbag tactics, however, and that says a lot about them.  For example, they wanted to talk to the owner about activity on the company's credit record.  Well, yes, they work with credit records but this is a cold call so they are not speaking of something specific, they have no business poking their nose in our credit record since we have not authorized them to do so and do not pay them to do so.  We have no direct relationship with them.  Use scumbag tactics, be treated as scumbags.  They get dumped in an un-monitored voicemailbox now.
