Probably a bot waiting for a voice in order to start. It waits until it hangs up.

That makes sense, and I appreciate the information.

You'd think they would have marked me as inactive by now - they've been calling every day or two, including weekends, for more than a month. I haven't answered once! The persistence is the only thing that made me question whether it was spam.

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until ~~you are dead~~ it's no longer profitable to operate the automated service!

I got that kind of call for four years after I got a new phone number. 2-3 times a day. Plus texts offering to buy Tuyet's home, appointment reminders for her & her kid's(?) doctor, occasional temp-staffing offers. You can't beat them by not answering.
