10/16 15:05 Called just now unrecognized number so did not answer and weird ID consisting of string of numbers. Voicemail a brief spate of background noise and hang-up. Don't know what they want or care but want to let others know not to answer any unidentified or unrecognized callers. Unfortunately, folks without caller ID cannot take advantage of this website. It's a shame that we cannot make such people aware of this problem.
