I don't normally answer calls from numbers I don't recognize but I know people in the 402 area code so I answered and was met by silence on the other end. Having now checked this site, I see it was likely some telemarketer. It's hard to sell people anything if they don't even say hello when the person they call actually does answer the phone!
I answered. He said something like (reading from a script). .. this is Phil from some police fundraising organization. Can I count on you to return a donation for the envelope I send out. I said no, and can you remove me from your calling list. He immediately hung up on me. Obviously a scam organization that may send a small percent to police but taking most of the money for themselves.
I called back and got this recording "If you received a call from this number, we should contact you within the next day. If you believe you received this call by error, please, press 1 to be added to our Do-Not-Call list." I pressed 1.
