Received a call, too. I don't answer calls from unknown numbers or allow them to go to VM. I plugged the number into Google and it seems that it belongs to a company going by "+63 VoIP" A mini call-center - "you're paying we're calling". It seems to based in the Phillipines, but using an area code based in Washington state.

They hung up when I answered. I also Googled the #. They may be calling if someone's paying, but I guess that doesn't include actually talking to anyone on the other end. Or maybe that's a different payment: pay them once, and they will call people for you. Pay them again, and they will actually talk to someone who picks up!
If you are a legitimate business looking to connect with potential customers, cold-calling from an offshore phone bank is one of the dumbest ways I could think of to do that. The only thing that would have a lower success rate is tossing bottles into the ocean with sales notes and your business card in them. At least those won't annoy people as much as cold-calling.
