Before it got zapped (I don't get many junkers) it was a telemarketing call from "The Brick". Canadian Furniture, appliance, etc. store. They've learned from "Card Services" calls. The message starts as soon as the phone connects. That's why many people report getting a message on their answering machine that seems to be in mid-paragraph. Not a big deal for me, but a sure sign of how desperate retailers are as we go into the holiday season. Brace for more!
