I got this call and let it go to machine.
I never answer these type of calls, because once you do, you're tagged as a "live" number and they'll sell your number to other illegal operations. They don't care if you ask to be taken off their list, in fact they like that you took the time to contact them. You're now a "good" number because you're a live body on the other end, and no matter what they say, they won't take you off their list, because you've shown you're a potential target they can bombard with calls. So, following up and talking to someone on their end, makes them try even harder to contact you, because you've made an effort to get in touch with them. You come across as interested, even if you're not. Your number is worth keeping, and/or selling for them...
On the other hand, if they get no response, they give up eventually, as it's not worth their time and effort if they're blocked or get a machine. They won't make money selling your number. Just like with anything, if you ignore them long enough, they'll go away.
They didn't leave a message, but came across the Caller ID as Lower Interest.
