The caller asked for someone named Ms. My-Husband's-Last-Name. No such person exists, because I didn't change my name when we married. So they must have my husband's name but gambled that he has a wife with the same last name who would be more susceptible to telemarketing / phone donations, so they asked for "Ms." instead of "Mr." Well, it backfired.
Don't know who this is, but they've called my house multiple times over the past week, and i think i got a series of calls from this number earlier in the year as well. whoever is calling never leaves a message. usually w/ telemarketers, they disconnect the moment the answering machine kicks in. in this case, the disconnection doesn't happen until almost all the way through the machine's outgoing message. Don't know if that's significant or not.
