It's a ton of telemarketers trying to sell us insurance, "further education" courses, and lots of other items. I think someone has taken the technology form the movies and found a way to have their numbers routed from different called ID's (including different area codes). This way, if you don't answer from Iowa, you may answer from Illinois, or California, or Nevada. They are hoping to get lucky. Shady scumbag weasels.....I am on the "do not call registry," but apparently that does not apply anymore...ugh!!!
