Unsolicited calls...automated...etc.

Likely a scam call. A recorded voice said that for research purposes (which research, not identified?) you need to press 1 for male, 2 for female. Most scams want you to "press 1", so recommend you hang up and don't press anything.

Caller: Area Survey

This caller wanted to know more about my area which is really suspicious. Be really careful as it's definitely sounds like a robo-caller survey to me.

I have the number banned and they Tried to ring 28 times in 12 minutes

Caller: Survey Company

Quick automated federal election survey

6:15pm 10/5/22- went to answering machine….For research purposes tell us if you are you male or female. Press 1 for male press 2 for female. Repeated message then caller said…Thank you for providing this information. Good bye. This is a community survey.

My husband and I had a call from this number at precisely the same time, called back and recorded message said "for research purposes, please tell us if you're male or female", I hung up then.

This was an unsolicited call from an automated system. “This is a community survey press 1 for male & 2 for female”.

Caller: Community survey
