As a business I worked at we always answered the phone. It is a business and you never know what customer might call. We were getting 4 or 5 of the BS calls that were supposed to be from Google to update our listing. WTF indeed, We would tell them to google us, it is all correct. That never worked. Even if you bother to hit the buttons to update and talk to someone, it would just hang up automatically.
I finally heard from one "expert" that said many of those calls are not intended to do anything but get the person to answer the phone. It was nothing but a agency that was paid to make the calls, they did not have to have results of any contacts, just the phone getting answered was enough to charge the client. They would make a few million robo-calls and make a few hundred bucks. Easy money. Total waste of time for everyone.
