Telemarketer's Question Answered Promptly

Got a call from a telemarketer yesterday - a public holiday. After going back and forth with "Hello?" a couple of times she asked me, "Can I speak to the owner of this phone number?"
This struck me as a very strange request and rather impersonal so I responded with, "No" and hung up.
If you don't even know who you're calling just make sure it's not me. Sounded dodgy like they were going to ask to change my phone service provider or similar.

Maybe you sound like a 4-year-old kiddo? ;-) Just joking, but that might be a good reason for such a question!

I used to always say sure, just wait a minute while I go and get them. 30 minutes later I return and hang up the phone. I say used to because now that I don't have a landline I don't get those calls anymore.
