Maybe a warning from your future self. Laugh | :laugh: I would have had to answer it. Smile | :)

I have noticed an uptick in robo-calls, mostly from spoofed local numbers. I have also had multiple calls from people claiming to be returning my call...one guy was furious and unconvinced that I had not called his wife's cellphone 3 times that day! Those telemarketers have no respect for a 'do not call' list and apparently are willing to use random numbers to trick people into answering. In your case though, random doesn't explain it. Suspicious | :suss:
