It is a SCAM, however the callers usually get paid for every call ANSWERED and the length of the call. They are also scamming their employers. They find numbers that go to voice mail and play music or do dead silence. Usual time for a voice mail is bout 1 minute so they are making money. They know which numbers pick up, hang up, answer or keep ringing and use that information. Try hanging up on them every time you call and they usually stop. However, sometimes they have people that actually are trying to pull the scam. IT IS A SCAM, THEY WANT YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION AND MAY EVEN HAVE SOME OF YOUR INFO ALREADY SUCH AS YOUR NAME!!! Sometimes they say you won a prize but usually ask you a few "Survey" questions which gives them personal information to help them steal your identity. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING! DO NOT TRUST THEM!!! 42393370064 Keeps calling 3-5 times a day. They also use different 866 and 877 numbers as well. I think it's the same people! Sometimes I don't answer, other times I hang up on them. I have already advised them that I am on the Federal Do Not Call Registry and they are violating Federal Law, to stop calling. That hasn't stopped them. They know the law is a joke and the Feds don't have the brass to enforce anything. A private citizen can be arrested for non stop calling (it's called harassment,) but these companies can keep doing it over and over and nothing can be done. This country really is going down the toilet!
