Narrative evidence

What happened

Received a call on my work cell phone. The caller stated that I was selected for a lower interest rate due to my good credit. They had info that was correct and I gave them more! I first was speaking with a female and them transferred to a man. After asking several questions and getting different responses, I grew nervous. While on the phone, I was looking them up. I realized that I had been on the phone for almost 30 minutes and the man was getting a agitated with me. I decided to hang up. He called me back 3 times and and left one message and said since I hung up on him, he would place a black mark on my credit and that I would not be able to use my credit cards any more.
