I doubt it. They can use automated dialers to just do:
111-111-1111
111-111-1112
111-111-1113
etc
Maybe. These aren't automated calls, though. There's a real live asshole on the other end. In some cases people said they already knew personal info, such as their address, etc.
When searching the number I came across a site where people commented on their experiences with the calls. One guy made a point that made a lot of sense:
"The Do Not Call List has become the problem, not the solution. They make the lists available free of charge to telemarketers so they know who not to call. In fact, the FTC is providing telemarketers a list of good, live telephone numbers that they would otherwise have to pay for."
