There is never a message and if I pick up the receiver there is a long pause (5-20 seconds) and then a click noise which sounds like a handoff to the next telemarketer from the dialer. This is definiteley a telemarketer with pacing set to high. Lot's off dead air calls because no agent is free in queue for the call handoff. This is typical in hi-paced call centers.
I called the number back (515-200-1334) and received a recorded message stating that if I wished to be on the do not call list for this number to hit "1". I did this and we will see if the calls stop. I doubt it and blocked the # also.
I wish they (whoever they are) would stop calling. I have received several calls this past week and usually at least 2 a day. Never leave a message. I just answered and hung up. I don't talk or answer to a # that I don't know the person(s) that is calling. Must be a telemarketer since I don't know anyone living in Algona, IA. They need to stop calling or leave a message if they expect to talk to me.

My caller ID says Graven for BHG, its a telemarketer for Better Homes and Gardens magazine which I subscribe to but I contacted their customer service and informed them I'd be a former subscriber if it continues. I dislike telemarketers any old way but thru companies I do business with really irks me. A pox, a bad one, on all PITA telemarketers.
