I also had a couple of those this week on my machine. Like deb I tend not to just answer my land line unless I hear who is calling. I don't have caller i.d. must be something that is going around the area at the moment. It is a recorded call and then a person comes on the line.

Screen your calls! We use the heck out of our caller ID & answering machine. We do get a bunch of those types of calls but we don't talk to them at all.

Apparently they are running a lot of those scams down here. We don't get many because we don't have a land line, but my parents have been called about their checking account several times-- at a bank where they don't have an account.

Yup. I've received COUNTLESS calls/messages about my auto warantee being up. In reality, I haven't had a warantee on my car for years. It's all a scam in my book.
