Call came in to my pay per use phone today. Missed the call, so I called back the # 281-895-6313 from my home #. Call starts to connect and immediately starts an autodial sequence of numbers to some other number. Maybe instantly call forwarded? Not sure. Then someone (male) answers and asks "is that you Axle". I said no, and told him I think I dialed a wrong #. As the saying goes "something smells funny here, and it ain't the fish"!
This call is for sure from an automatic dialer, if you answer the call and tell them you are not interested, they will probably remove your name and number and you will never get a call again. If you do not answer, the dialer will continue to call from time to time. If you try and call the number it will probably go into the dialer itself and you get a busy signal.
Folks, its an auto dialer, companies that do any kind of volume calling use them. If you want to call them back to get you number removed there is an 1-800 number on their website. If you call in on the number on your caller ID then you might get lucky and connect just as it is dialing out. Axle (lol) was probably someone he was calling when you called in...instead, he got you.
Obviously managed by people-when threaten with tracing call they hang up-when multiple attempts to return call they disengage telephone for short time so you get a busy signal-reported to telephone company.
