Telephone survey on wine

Hello, this morning a company called me for a survey, but I didn't have the time. The interlocutor told me it was just a survey, and I wouldn't be long. Then he asked me what wine I drink, where I buy my wine, etc. But wine and I don't mix; I'm not into wine at all, maybe a rosé very rarely with friends. Anyway, once the questionnaire was over, he asked for my age, my partner's profession, and then he asked if I still lived at that address. I said yes, even though it's not true, and he told me he was talking so fast that he was going to send me a gift, although it started as just a survey. So I thought, are they doing this to force people to buy their wine from their company? The number was marked as unavailable. I wanted to know if you have ever received such a phone call and if it's the same as mine. Thank you.

    Hello,

    my parents had to deal with the same phone call that starts with a survey, then offers gifts, and right after that they say they will send boxes of wine at a preferential price.
    The best thing to do is not to let the caller finish their sentences and tell them that we are not interested, and if that doesn't work, hang up on them.

      Thank you, this is what I did. I said I wasn't interested and hung up in the end, but what I'm afraid of is receiving the package with the bottles. What I will do if that happens is send it back without opening it.

      Don't forget that the interlocutors are just doing their job, you shouldn't hang up on them anyway. It's crap.
