The past couple of weeks I've been working the phone banks every day for an election campaign. About half of the calls go unanswered. People aren't home. People with call display don't pick up. There's a new technology many homes are using to thwart unwanted callers. The phone rings two or three times then picks up. It doesn't even go to voice mail. It just starts playing creepy music for about 30 seconds and then hangs up. Everyone who uses this system has the very same, creepy music. It must be part of a product they have purchased.
