Yup. It's a lovely way to keep the junk calls down. I once got a phone
call from my college alumni association begging for money. The guy must
have been tolerant, because he left a message. Then he called back, and
I could hear him and (probably) the guy next to him discussing whether
the message was recorded backwards. They thought I was a Satanist! <g>
