    I had the exact same situation today! but I was a polite guy and told her what is it about, because I want the operator in our office to know who is calling regarding what so that I don’t get BS calls.
    show some understanding girl!

    whats worse is YOU being the opertator (or in my case an ex-call center agent) and clients start asking you all sort of personal questions! w lazem tdalli mu2adabeh lol psychos!
