A few minutes go I noticed a notification dot on the Google phone app
icon on my home screen. Recents didn't show a call, but there was a
new voicemail. It was definitely a spam message: some guy who sounded
like poor-quality speech generation said he was Attorney something
"with the consumer protection agency" (which is not the name of a
Federal or California state bureau) and wanted me to call him at some
800 number. Needless to say, I didn't.
 
Is it possible to send a voicemail to an Android phone without
actually calling the phone?

Do you have spam filtering enabled with whomever is your cellular
provider?  If so, they may send spam straight to voicemail rather than
issue a call.
