when i pick up the phone no one replies. so simply hang up.

Picked up the phone and no one was there so it was probably a robocall from some telemarketer. We tried the DNC list but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Those kind people offering to reduce my credit card load again.  Sigh, sorry I missed them.  They do work SOOOOOO  hard.

This is obviously a "spoofed" number.    It's a prerecorded message from scammers saying that they want info on Canadians who have more than ten grand in credit card debt.

I'm also on the DNC list, but not much good it's doing.

I do get many legit calls from this area code, so i picked it up. Normally I do not answer calls where i don't know the number.

This call today was a low-life telemarketer robocall with a recorded message trying to sell a way to lower interest rates on your credit card. It said "Press 9 to remove from list", which I did and the call ended, but I think all i did was verify for them that my phone number is valid, and the creeps will call again, probably from a different number.

When the revolution comes, telemarketers will be the first to be shot.
