especially the 'I just need to confirm your details as part of our security procedure' on an unsolicited call.
That boils my piss. They would have strong advice to 'do one' from me at that stage.

I refuse. If it is important they will find another way to contact me.

wondering how to tell them to go away, politely, tomorrow when they phone back
I'm not much interested in unsolicited phonecalls. I'll let you know if I'm interested. Please take me off all your marketing lists. Thanks
I'm always tempted by the 2nd option of asking them how I should be able to verify who they are and then why I might not be happy to jump through hoops providing security details to a random on a phone. But then I figure I've got other things to waste my time on and go with option 1

Not interested but have asked them to call you back...

I am mildly annoyed and also wondering how to tell them to go away, politely, tomorrow when they phone back (earlier I said I was in the middle of work and could they call me tomorrow.)
About to go into a meeting? On deadline? I use the latter a lot when people call me at work, often because I am.
I didn't like much about the interaction - especially the 'I just need to confirm your details as part of our security procedure' on an unsolicited call.
I wouldn't like that either. If I get that, I say "Well, how do I know you're who you say you are? Tell me your name and I'll get the number off the legit website and call you."
Then I don't call back, obvs.

I was phoned up earlier by an insurance broker who got my details from my mortgage broker. My mortgage broker did not mention this to me. I am mildly annoyed and also wondering how to tell them to go away, politely, tomorrow when they phone back (earlier I said I was in the middle of work and could they call me tomorrow.)
I didn't like much about the interaction - especially the 'I just need to confirm your details as part of our security procedure' on an unsolicited call. The company seem legit enough, but I'm just not interested and I kinda hate that shit.
