Picked up the call, but after I said Hello, they hung up.  Probably a new upcoming scam, and it dropped the call.

Same thing just happened to me

I answered. Got a recorded message about credit card reduction to one and a half percent. Bull [***] call.

I called it back and it was some sort of Telemarketing thing for Consumer Dead.  It said to press 2 to be removed from their list.  Then it said good bye after I pressed 2.  So, I do not know if I was indeed actually removed from their list or not.  IF they call again I will answer the phone and yell at whoever comes on the line.

Andi,
When you pressed "2", all you did is validate that your number is valid!
Now you will probably be getting many more call from A---holes like this.
