I just got a call on both my business line, and my personal cell, then again on my business line "This is a test to show Ethan how the system works". The second time I challenged the caller - male, who stopped mid-sentance and there was silence, leading me to believe this is NOT an automated call.
had 2 calls on the answering machine and both started with -"this is a call to show Ethan how the system works" I erased both calls without listening further.
