What is the most pointless spam/telemarketing call you've ever received?

I just received a call with the following recording:

"This is a test call.  The time to stay home is now.  Stay home and stay safe . This was a test call."

    I did just that in my various telemarketing positions in 25 years solid. I called for Vistana Resorts for Time Share vacations and invite them to a buffet and some free pen packs included I think. That was 1989 and I don't believe they are still in existence.  This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at September 24, 2020 5:26 PM MDT

    Energy companies wanting me to switch to them. I work for one, so I get employee rates.
