Today, April 29, my caller I.D. showed the above number. I was busy doing something and just let the phone ring. It rang about twice as long as the robocalls usually do. I finished my task and moved to the phone to check the number, just in case it was a known number or an emergency. The place of origin was Oak Park, IL. I was surprised when the ringing stopped and the word "answering" appeared. At that point the attempt to call me ended.
Two matters are troubling about this call. The first is that my caller I.D. says that is the SECOND time this number called. I've been home all day and the phone only rang this one time. I checked my long term I.D. log and couldn't find evidence that this number had EVER called before. The second troubling aspect is the (never before seen on my caller I.D.) word "answering". Is there a scam out there which somehow routes another call through my phone? Just wondering.
