I'm really scared right now

Freaky!
Is the answer machine anywhere near where you had the conversation? Having Googled that number, no one else among the people harassed by calls from it mentions any other instances of having their own conversations played back to them, so this sounds like a phone fault/issue at your side. Could your answer machine/phone have possibly been recording the conversation at the same time as it was trying to record the (most likely) dead air during one of these cold calls? Did your conversation correlate to a time when one of these calls had just come in and been ignored by yourself?
I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for what happened, although I can understand why you'd be spooked! At the end of the day, that number is used by a company that are looking to make sales, and scaring the beejesus out of potential customers isn't the best way to do that (unless they're moving in to the extortion game).

No, we don't have an answering machine, or a landline, just cell phones. And neither of them were in the room at the time.

I looked at the message again this morning, and noticed then that it was actually sent from a different number. I looked it up and it was one of those anonymous/no reply type things.

I see. In that case, I'd definitely consider taking it to the police. Anonymised number or not, they may be able to trace it. At the very least, they should be made aware of what's happened. It could simply be a prank from a friend or relative, but it doesn't cost anything to report it.
Keep us in the loop.

Nothing's happened since then, so everything seems to be fine. Not sure exactly what happened, but we were pretty freaked out to say the least.
