yeah there's some of them that do that. but then i'll choose sales and have
the next firewall person foward me to the right one.

I was wondering how that works. for my phone i have to choose the screening each time they call.

Last week someone from hr called me and i called them back and the virtual assistant  told me to get lost.  I believe the reason i gave was i have to talk to hr because i am returning their phone call.

Those guys don't really waste too much time.  Seriously i really wish i did answer some of these calls.  There was a guy with a thick indian accent that said he was from the fbi and he was yelling at me. He demanded I pay them money. My cell's number used to belong to a guy who would get scammed all the time.  That's why i use google voice for my main number and voicemail.
