Voice message - asks to press '5' if you do not wish to stay on the database. Yeah - right! Ignored it until if stopped speaking. Damned irritating.

They rang today, although I suspected all was not right, they did get my name out of me, and when they wouldn't give me the name of their company, I hung up.

Nuisance call. I have call screening and they hang up when they realise they have to give their name.
