Is this just blanket data collection to see if numbers are good? Trying to capture voicemail messages?

I'm just curious. Whenever I let one of the small jew boxes out of a faraday cage, I get constant calls from numbers all over the US that just hang up instantly if I pickup. Seems like a waste of resources/money.

Don't answer any number you don't recognize. If it's a human being and it's important, they'll leave a message. Never call back a number you don't recognize.

I was in the industry once. That's exactly what it is. Then sometimes that data is chopped up and sold.

Not sure if it's the same in your case but when I was in telemarketing that was caused by a software glitch.

Had to do with whatever feed back the computer was getting from the phone lines.
