It was very odd, it came up as suspected spam, but I answered and said hello, and a robotic voice just kept repeating "Thank you for calling, Thank you for calling", very strange.

My mobile picked this up as `suspected spam`, I answered it and said `Hello`, the female computery voice on the other end said `Goodbye` but the call was not ended. I`ve blocked the number just to be on the safe side, so I wouldn`t call them back.
