I noticed that too. Very devious these danged marketers.
Unfortunately, one thing I'm afraid of is the auto-dialers that are just trying to find live numbers. Kinda like the spammers that send out bulk emails with the like to "click here to remove" youself from thier list. Ooh... that's a bad one. When you click it, your email gets put on a list as a "live" email and sold to anyone in the world. I think a lot of those auto-dialers are the same. All the computer is doing is calling to see if anyone is gonna pick up. Then once you do... wham!
