Have you received a call like this? Is there a new card?

Sounded wrong...
You did the right thing. I have a feature on my phone that allows me to send a text message that says "please text me" or I send it to voice-mail if I don't recognize the number.
My 97 year old mother would start telling them about Jesus and praying for them until they hung up on her...they finally put her on THEIR do not call list.
These calls originate in Costa Rico and they are not subject to our laws.
