That's strange... I would immediately hang up, I hate automated calls that are just trying to sell you something  :-X

I have been getting constant phone calls that I ignore and they go to voice mail.  You can hear talking in the background, but nobody says anything.

I never respond to phone numbers I do not know.  My friends and family know my number, and my phone shows me their names.

They might be checking to validate someone will answer, and then give that number to a con game.

Sounds creepy.

I have just  quit  responding to to the calls.  just ignore them and maybe they will  think i won't answer.  so many are just scams or they want something i am not willing to give. It seems to be getting worse every year. also so many  of the people do not sound American and i really don't want any thing to do with them, who knows how high your phone bill would be,

I don't answer numbers I don't know. They can leave a message if it's important.

It's a good thing there is caller ID.
the most obscure name I saw on my caller ID was "name unavailable".
I don't pick up if I don't recognize the name or number.
There have been a couple  times when people who knew me were calling.
I found out after they left a message.
The cell phone numbers are hard to recognize sometimes.

I'll always answer calls like that in a thick accent. They usually hang up in seconds.

I got a few of those from Jack and some from Bob. They always asked if I could hear them. After the first call from each of them, I just hung up. It's horrible when you have to check your caller ID before before picking up the phone. I no longer answer any calls.

I also hated it when I would answer and the caller would act like they were your best friends you haven't heard from in years. Funny...didn't know they had phones in heaven 'cause that's were all my friends are now...the last one died yesterday. :'(

100% always a scam. I just block the number on my phone but its still a hastle because they can leave a voicemail. Then you have to deal with that.

I always block this kind of phone calls but it seems like they never out of new numbers. Pesky callers.
