Phone: “Ring Ring”
Me: “Hello”
Caller “Hello, I am Blah from Blah Blah Software Security - could you tell me what network security you currently have in place?”

Me: “Sorry, I am not going to tell you that either”
Caller “Er, Um, you are not making this very easy for me are you?”
Me: “Well, I am not likely to give out my network security information to cold callers now am I?”
