I use our landline for local calls, easier to hear on than Mr. Dixie's cell. So naturally the number is used by robo callers.

Got one of those "say yes" trap calls the other day, a fairly good robot, asking questions that most people would say yes to.

I can imagine a fairly decent call center can churn out a zillions a day, esp. with a robot doing the screening.
