Default telemarketing and other fail phone calls

so for some reason no one else in my office gets these, but i get a ton. i guess i just ended up with the crappy extension.

every couple days, a stupid automated 'hello. we want to talk to you about'. or i got collections calls for a little while. then vacation offers. random crap.

the latest one though has me puzzled.

i get a call. i pick up and say 'hello'. i hear a recorded woman's voice say 'hello'.

then a pause

..

then the recorded female voice says 'goodbye' and hangs up.



...

what the fuck

i believe calls like that record your "hello" so they know what the best times would be for a person to pick up.
