You pick up the phone and hear, “We've been trying to reach you concerning your vehicle's extended warranty.” It’s a pre-recorded message, and it instructs you to press a certain number or stay on the line.

Tried to phone back got a recorded message saying I was connected to test server gateway 7
Seems to be a spam call
Or a machine that tests numbers to see what ones answer then they drop the call
Spam spam spam
