Just got a very bizarre robocall.

After a substantial pause, this is the only thing I heard after I said hello:

"Due to a technical problem at our end, we are unable to speak with you personally. Please accept our sincere apology. Goodbye."

:wtf:

2. Weird. I Got something like that

More than once I got what I'm sure was a robocall where there was a long pause, and then a voice of an old woman says something like I have the wrong number then hangs up. I got it at different locations too!

3. maybe you are being watched ?

Is your phone tapped?



Just wondering...... had a similar thing happen to me, then read an article

about the gov listening into "ordinary" people...

4. Easy to explain that one.

Many call centers purchase "outdialers" that dial the phone on behalf of their agents. The machine dials, listens to see if someone picks up, and if they get a live answer, they connect you to the person they want you to talk with. Clearly in this case something went wrong during the "connection" part and as a result all they did is hassle you with their outdialer. At least it had a nice polite error message and didn't just say something like, "Error code 1500" and disconnect. Ha.

5. I once got a letter from the IRS saying:

"We have concluded your case. Please accept our apologies for the confusion and know that all has been resolved. Thank you."

I have no idea what problem they resolved, but I'm deeply grateful.
