Am in Toronto. Call today from 301 - as per call display. Was curious so answered. When I picked it up, a few seconds of dead air and then a recorded female voice said Good Bye, and the call disconnected.
Do you have Caller ID? This is your first line of defense. If you see a name and/or number (or no number) that you recognize, do not pick up the call! If you do pick up, hang up immediately. If you should hear the message, and it tells you to press a button, hang up immediately. Then report the call to 800notes and the FCC DNC complaint site. The fewer calls you pick up, them more the robo-callers will think that your number is not a working number (I read that right here on 800notes.)
