Not understanding this story entirely. You just hung up on someone and then they left a bad review. That's what reviews are for, no?

The person called them trying to sell something (a "cold call"), but then left a bad review claiming to be a customer.

He cold called op. So probably wanted to sell them a service/product. By the caller turned around to leave a fake review as though he was a customer of OP.

At least that's how I interpreted it.
