For a couple of weeks I was getting callers that were completely silent, then they hung up a few seconds later. Eventually I asked my telco about malicious call tracing, and I found out something interesting: I was being called by a machine. When I answered, it checked to see if any consultants were available to spam me. In all cases there were none, so it just hung up.

That's even more fucking rude than a recorded message.

The sad part is that it's legal in Australia. It calls indiscriminately so even those with silent numbers will cop it. The only way to stop it is to have your number added to a 'remove' list.
