It's a scammer. They call with a pre-recorded message saying you've won something. The call is designed to sound like it's not pre-recorded. They're using dragonspeak to filter your questions. "Are you authorized to contact this number?" was met with a pre-recorded "I"m sorry, could you repeat that?"
They said a company name, and I don't remember what it was, but it doesn't matter. The company name likely changes from call to call anyway, and there's no real company.
I doubt they get paid "per call" so much as they get paid per live phone number reached, which they add to a list to sell to other scammers.
Same number...calls my cell phone (I have unlimited but still I no one but my doctor, family or friends use the cell) and they call and don't say anything. I am wondering if they get paid so much per call and say WE hung up on them? Still, I pretty much knew they were telemarketers. I would rather pick up dog poop than do that for a living. I feel bad and know some people have to make a living doing it but when I asked them to not call me anymore (at least when I get a chance to actually SPEAK to that person and not hung up on) and they keep calling, then I get ticked off. Just GO AWAY!
