Likely a computer generated call. Its also almost 100% probability that the phone number shown in the caller ID is forged. That makes it useless to report as a violation...BUT, if they do come on the line get the name of the company they represent THEN its reportable as there is follow up info. Turns out the big violation is forging the caller ID, they can be fined $10,000 for each violation. The trick is to ask right away, who they represent (as though you want to know with who you are doing business). Finally, CALL, WRITE, OR E MAIL your reps in CONGRESS if you want the current inaction to change..Also make sure you make an additional complaint on the FCC complaint site.

The phone/ data line providers could stop this problem if they so desired but that would cut into their profits. The same companies fight stronger penalties on cell phone use in autos as that cuts into the profits made from minutes sold. They value profits above saving lives so I doubt very much that they will do anything to stop the robo call problems.
