Robocall, dead air, then hung up. Caller ID says Fall City, WA, but is probably spoofed. I figure these robocallers make their money by determining which phone numbers are valid (i.e.: someone answers) and the more numbers they validate, the more money they get when they sell the list. I answer the call, because it might be a client. If I get dead air or a recording, I don't say anything further, but I don't hang up, so I can keep them on the line as long as possible (sometimes up to 2 min.). This ties up their phone line and slows down their calling system, so the call costs them more money. I know . . . it's like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.

No message. I've saved this number to my caller ID under "scam" so if they call again I'll know to ignore it, or answer it and press the # key repeatedly for 10 seconds which tells the robo-dialer it's a non-working number and removes it from the list. Worked for me for a collection service robo-dialer. Worth a try.
