Constant calls. Got my Google to screen calls so I can block and report as spam, but yet the calls keep coming, from this and different numbers with the same area code.

Has called several days now. Doesn't leave VM. Today I picked up and said "Hello". They said "Hello" and nothing more then hung up a minute later. I assume it's a contact centre cold calling for something and they're gaming their employers' call monitoring. Doesn't seem particularly dangerous but definitely an annoyance and with no information volunteered, probably illegal.
