Claimed to be calling in regard to an account our business has with a national wholesaler. Presumably acting on harvested data

Called and barked at me about who they wanted to speak to. When I explained everything goes through our board, and there are no board members present, she hung up on me. People around me in the office asked me what just happened as her tone carried across the room. Apparently the number is legitimate, but I have blocked the number as the whole thing was just rude. She's clearly in the wrong job.
