Got a call from the number just now.  No one on line.  I pressed redial and answering machine picked up.  Instructed me to press 1 if I wanted to be taken off the calling list.  I hope it works!

Caller ID reads MESO Advocate.  Left no message.

Didn't recognize the number, but I answered I thought it might be a business associate who loves in Ohio. I said hello several times, but no response. What is the point of the annoying calls?

They're probably phishing for info or confirmation. Never answer a number you don't recognize because if they are just confirming that the number is active that's all they may need to complete a process for identity theft. If you can- look up the number and find out if it's someone you know. If you don't know the number- call block it!!!

Called, only got one ring, they left no message.
