Why are voicemail requests calling me?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) February 18th, 2011

Are voicemail machines just getting lonely? I have recently started getting messages on my voicemail that run something like this:

    We’re sorry but we are either away from the office or
    on the other line. After the beep, please leave us your
    name and phone number, and a brief message. We’ll
    get back to you as soon as we can.     Beep…

Are the machines getting lonely and reaching out to one another? Why would someone deliberately program robocalls to do this? Are they just trying to mess with my head?
