We have answer machine on the unlisted landline so don't get many calls. They quickly hang up. Occasionally I might answer, say nothing and do "heavy " breathing down the phone they go pretty quick then. A friends asks for the callers name and number saying she will call them back, they hang up. Like has been said if they are genuine they will leave a message. :)
