This caller is likely from a political campaign or a robocall service pushing for votes. The automated message kicks in right away, even before you can say hello, which is a common tactic to avoid human interaction and reduce call-backs. If you receive such calls, it’s best to hang up immediately and consider blocking the number. Sharing the number with others can also help prevent further harassment. Stay vigilant and don’t engage unless you’re sure it’s a legitimate call.
That strategem of 'listening' to avoid calbacks is intriging, how does it actualy work?
When I answered the call, an automated voice began speaking about voting for a political candidate; I listened to avoid another call, and I decided to share this information so others would be aware of the caller's intentions.
