Received two calls about six hours apart from the same number. It's a fake number, as it took awhile for someone to actually respond when I answered (no background noise, a 5 second pause, then the sound of someone picking up the phone). Called identified herself as Irene and hung up when I asked politely for them to please stop calling.
Perhaps a political call. It is the season and many races in VA are closely contested. Since no one knows if this is a sales call, it could be exempt from using the DNC list.
Definitely a sales call, mine was regarding health insurance. "Irene" is a computerized voice, her responses are dictated by your responses. When Irene says how are you today? You should really tell her how you are, in detail. Or, just do what I did and put her on the Call Reject list. 5 calls rejected just today.
