These yag-offs call 3X a day. Predictive dialer. If you answer, no one picks up, meaning they are short handed in the $8/hr tele-[***] employee department. Computer stays on the line long enough to record 2 seconds of noise into your voicemail. Just don't answer.

My gosh, how did we survive in the mid-70's when the phone would ring at dinner. Someone always picked up!!! Someone was always home.
