Yes, I'm pretty sure this is the scam mentioned in the news. They never leave a message. If it was legitimate they would want you to call them back by leaving contact info. Dont call them back, this is how the scam works! Look out for charges on your phone bill that are invalid. They say it will be in low increments around $20.
This is a scammer. They are trying to get you to call them back so you can be billed for the call. If you have a service like mine, you can not call the number back as numbers like this that charge $$$ per minute are blocked.
I get a lot of calls and no one answers when I answer. There is a phone scam going on right now in my area. Someone calls you but do not answer back when you answer. If you call the number back you are charged a $19.95 fee for calling back to see who called you. Wondering if this what's going on.
