It was in my area code, and I thought it could be one of my many contacts..but the number looked new..so I said hello, no answer, then hung up and went to this site..and it was a scam call..these companies move fast and sell the numbers faster. So, no more answers..just wait for caller ID, or the machine to pick it up.....what a waste of time.
