Received a call from 706-789-6543, no caller ID ("unavailable"). The pre-recorded message left on my answering machine indicated that the caller was selling final-expense life insurance. But the message kept asking questions and interpreting the silence that followed as valid answers. Typical examples:
"Would it be okay with you if our specialist calls you back? [silence] Great!"
"May I have your first name please? [silence] Thank you."
"May I have your last name please? [silence] Thank you."
"What's your favorite hobby? [silence] Great! Thank you."
For all I know, this may be one of those scam calls where they record your voice and later use it to claim you agreed to buy something. A lot of that going on now.
