Answered phone from unrecognized number. After saying " hello " 3 times and getting no response, I hung up.

Received unsolicited call from this number!!

me too!  what crook is it now?

I wanted to add something.  I heard about this on the news and believe this is the scam.  If you actually answered your phone, please check with your telephone provider that you haven't incurred enormous charges for doing so.  I blocked my home phone, called and it's absolutely blank...no ringing, no nothing.  I hung up after about 30 seconds.  I don't have AT&T and have free long distance but will still be checking with my phone service provider just to ensure that no additional charges are going to show up on my bill.

19Feb2014 at 9PM ET Had a call from this number on my cell, did not pick up, they left no voice mail.....some kind of scam for sure calling multiple numbers tonight as I can tell from what others have posted already within the past hour.   Looks like robot calling night.
