I work in the data business. I'm pretty sure the call came from a phone number verification service. In other words, company "x" gives them a list of numbers, they have a robot call all numbers listening for the "out of service" message. If they don't get it, the number is good. The list of numbers is returned to company "x" with the bad numbers removed. The cost for the service is about 6 cents per dial. Company "x" tells its telemarketers that "all the numbers are good". There you go.
