Received a voicemail from this caller which included a few seconds of a jingle which you'd hear while on hold, then a few seconds of the call tone. Assuming this is some kind of robocall or scam.

I'm getting calls three or four times a day from this company, who are using a number of different landlines. Therefore, blocking a number is ineffective. It's infuriating.
