We have two land lines to the house. We have caller id and distinctive ring tones for long distance and faxes coming in.
Two or three times each week for the past month, at least, either of the lines rings with the long distance cadence. The caller id screen says "Out of Area." If I just pick up the phone and say nothing, nothing seems to happen. But as soon as I say "Hello" the exact same male voice says the exact same thing the exact same way: "Oh, I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number." Then the line goes dead.
It's obviously a recording, but why does it keep happening over and over? Is it some form of automated phishing for fax numbers? If so, why doesn't it default out when it gets a voice? What business model keeps calling the same number and gets the same result, over and over and over?
This wouldn't have anything to do my my occasional good natured ribbing of a moronic incompetent former Governor of Texas, would it?
