I just got the call on my work phone!
For those of you who keep asking "How'd they get my number?" They didn't. It's a robot. The robot tries ALL registered phone numbers for all exchanges in an area code. That's public information. They may not know WHO has the number, but they can find out if the number is in use. Even if they couldn't, a robot could go through 10,000 numbers in a few hours.
I thought robots were illegal, though...
