I finally answered a call from this number after dodging it for a few weeks due to it being unknown to me. As it turns out, they were trying to sell me health insurance BUT to their credit, it was a follow-up from my online inquiry a few months ago into insurance. Just because you enter your details online on a specific insurance company website (say for instance Blue Cross, Aetna, Blue Shield...etc) it does not guarantee exclusivity as that company will forward your details to every agent who sells insurance on their behalf, as well as to their own direct agents, so suddenly hundreds of sales people from companies that you don't know are aware you are querying insurance and fully entitled to contact you as per the horrible small print on the original website.
Honestly, just man up and answer the phone and update them with your insurance status (still looking/taken care of) and they won't call again as the sales lead is dead.
