Answered the call knowing it was likely a random solicitation.
Was correct in my assumption as a pre-recorded message answered a few beats after me asking, "Hello?"
Automated message requested I press 1 if I was interested in improving my credit score.
Since there was no "remove my number" option, I pressed 1.
After a 15 second wait while Muzak played, "LaTasha" answered and asked (in a droll, monotone voice), "Are you interested in lowering your credit score?"
I told her before we continue, I'd like to get the name of the company she was with. Her response was, " a credit repair hotline".
When I asked again for her to specify the company name, and not to my surprise, the line went dead.
When attempting to redial the number that had come up on my caller ID, it rang as busy.
