Maybe those are like phone pranksters on a galactic scale

Speaking seriously there seem to be no reason to do so other than fo the sake of scientific interest. Anyway, seing how there are no such signals coming from Deep Space it's safe to assume that there either are no such ET's in any reasonable vicinity or they don't care enaugh to look for us and to make a contact. To me it's more likely that there simply are no such civilizations within the reach of our instruments.
