Could be that he was new (trainee) and didn't know what he was doing. Depending on the company I call, and on the number of times I get transferred, I get different responses and different questions.
As for the scam... I just make it a point not to answer any calls that from a number I don't recognize. If they REALLY need to reach me, they'll leave me a vmail. If it's legit, I call them right back.
Oh, and with some telemarketers, they won't say anything until you say hello twice. Example would be that if phone rings, I answer and say "hello?" no response, then I say "hello?" again. That's when the telemarket comes on. I think it's their way of screening answering machines.
