I think the "placeholder" was an instruction to a telemarketer client. Either the client flubbed the greeting prep, or the call center somehow failed to replace it. oooOOOPS!

Anyway, how do you know the IL number wasn't a spoof?

Recorded Message telling me that it was a placeholder and I'd need to record over it. Huh??? Then it hung up. Seems to be a legit publishing company in Illinois... but why the heck are they robo-calling people in Nova Scotia on a Sunday night?
