A company identified me by telephone called "Millenium". No services or products were ever requested or received from this company by my wife or myself. I received several telephone calls from this company that were answered by my wife - to which they abrubtly and even rudely discontinued the call. I received a call to which I answered. The operator referred to her company as "Millenium" as I stated before, and proceeded to ask me personal information.
The operator collected from me a confirmation, as a result of their already possessing this information, my address: street name, number of building and apartment number. I then asked the operator to name the institution from which they obtained that information, to which the operator replied "Millenium works with the company who issued your credit card". I asked the operator several times to recite to me the name of my credit card company, which the operator refused or was not able, to do.
I then discontinued the telephone call, citing to the operator that I would not answer any more questions unless "Millenium" could identify my credit card company.
