Caller hung up when I answered. I get these calls every day of the week. My phone company, AT&T, states that these calls are not illegal & they tried to sell me an additional service that is supposed to block annoying phone calls. Now it looks like AT&T is capitalizing on telephone scammers by scamming its own customers. So will someone please tell me what purpose it serves to post this information here.
I just got the same call, rang 3 times and hung up.
I'm in South Carolina, also on the do not call list.
I guess it's a scammer fishing for someone who answers quickly or moves on to next number.
I'M IN SOUTH CAROLINA ALSO. IT MUST BE OUR STATES TURN NOW. GOT THE MIKE MATTHEWS CALL AT 1:59PM ET. I HAD JUST FINISHED USING MY FAX AND IT WAS STILL PLUGGED IN WHEN THE CALL CAME THROUGH. ALL THEY GOT WAS A FAX SQUEAL IN THEIR EARS, IF THEY WERE STILL ON THE LINE. :-) HOPEFULLY THAT MAY INADVERTANTLY GET RID OF THEM.
