Well, I freely admit that I wound up shouting. A lot. Because of the insistence that they neded info to get me off the list. I should have called bullshit a lot harder on that.

And she at one point commented on how rude I was being.

Duh. They were trying to get info from me that was *only* of any interest or value if they were going to try selling me more of their crap. Which means that even if the call wasn't *technically* a solicitation, it was to gather info that would *used* for solicitation at a later date.
