This call was a telemarketer that thought they had a person on the line but was actually on my answering system.  She started right in saying that her firm was calling about a political survey & wanted my comments beginning with answering her questions.  Then "Hello, Hello, Is anybody there," then hung up.  Assuming they use a system to make the calls, then drop them off at a rep's phone.  I've gotten more telemarketing calls & now the surveys starting - it is aggravating!  If somebody wants to survey me, let me call you!

I did not mean to label this call a "TELEMARKETER" as I put on my comment above - sorry!

I didn't answer. "They" hung up on answering machine. Caller ID says "Culpeper VA".

Started by saying they were collection agency (we don't owe anybody) and after confirming my name they continued with a survey request

I've received a number of calls from this number. Last one claimed they were a collection  agency. I don't owe anyone so I knew it was bogus. Most of the time they just hang up rather than leave a message
