unknown caller, did not leave a message.

Same here

Voice message on answering machine:
Male caller with an American'ish accent, chewing on gum or dinner,
while watching tv..?
The male caller murmurs in a soft tone
"Thank you Mr. Ford"
More background sounds, person gets up n walks away from phone, returns while breathing into mic, clears his throat.
Then hangs up no specific message or request made or left.

Please note this call sounded similar to another one left a few months ago
where caller says
"911 was a lie!"
and then hangs up.

Some guy who claims to be from the Liberal Party, asking me how I am voting etc.  Knew mine and my wifes name.

Very odd.  I wonder what the source of this number is?  It almost seems like it may be dynamically generated number.

this number has been showing up on my caller ID list every day for the last 2 weeks (that's 14 times!!).  no message is ever left but sometimes the calls are made just before the 9:30 pm cut off.  ever since i placed my number on the federal no call list, i've been inundated with telemarketers.
