NYS COVID testing line, not abiding by law and listed the name of the government agency calling about testing...which is extremely important. Yet, no message left and again, no idea who called. Another example of broken government.

This is the NY State health department COVID testing appointment line. If you called a requested a test this is the number from which they call you back. They do not leave a message.

I would receive this phone number 5182820638 on my landline at home for the past month. They are calling mostly during the day time. The caller ID does not list who is calling other than the phone number. The caller would always hang up and not leave a voice message. I do not know how this person got my unlisted phone number. Maybe it is a telemarketer, even though my unlisted phone number is on the Do Not Call list.
