These JERKS keep calling - I activated call screening

I did a little snooping and disclosed that this number is from Arlington Heights, IL. The area code is right for this. However, no message is ever left.
I got a call from this number tonight, and no one was there when I answered. When I called back, a weird answering machine picked up, spouting off about all these calls all the time--as if someone hacked into their voicemail system, or perhaps they just wanted to let the caller know they already knew what we were calling about! I'm still reporting them to the FCC.
