Silent daily calls from WHYY – what’s the deal?

Expert Opinion
Imagine getting a silent call every day from the same number, no voicemail, just a dead line. That pattern screams an automated outreach effort, often tied to fundraising drives that use third‑party dialers. The lack of identification and the persistence despite do‑not‑call registrations point to a non‑compliant telemarketing operation. You can protect yourself by blocking the number, filing a complaint with the FTC, and requesting removal through any opt‑out message they eventually leave. If the calls continue, consider reporting to your carrier’s spam‑call service and reviewing your caller‑ID settings. Staying vigilant and documenting each call helps build a case against abusive practices.

After receiving a call from this number, I returned the call, only to be greeted by an automated message claiming to be from SDNA, which seems plausible if they are indeed working with WHYY, given my recent contribution. The message instructed me to leave a callback number to be removed from their list, which I did.
