Second Lady: "Hell..." (hangs up)

I tried calling back and it didn't go through. I don't normally answer these calls but I am in Nashville on vacation and flew here through Southwest Airlines which made it seem even stranger.
It was a random phone call, and you were randomly selected. It really had nothing to do with Southwest airlines. You're probably lucky the return phone call didn't go thru...otherwise they would have probably kept (and sold) your phone number for other scams.
