Scam call, Avoid

They called using the number 082 117 8039 and a robot voice speaks after some music plays. The robot voice asks you to press 1 to set up a music waiting tone for when people dial you. I'm on a brand new number that only my bank and travel agent knows. Nobody else knows my phone number, so one them sold my information. That's very troubling indeed. I'd be curious to know what network provider you are on (if you also received this call)...maybe it is our network provider who is behind this.
