Is this a scam?

Just had an automated message on my answer machine saying something along the lines of "congratulations, after completing one of our online forms you have won a holiday to Cancoun, please press 1 to speak to one of our operatives and claim your prize".
Tried pressing 1 and nothing happens. I'm a bit wary of automated messages like this.
What do you think? scam?

If I have made a mistake in the post, I am human, tell me nicely and it will be corrected. If your reply cannot be nice, has an underlying issue, or you believe that you are God, please post in another forum. Thank you0
