Silent Spam Calls: How to Stop Them!
Summary — +12162642942
Expert Opinion
These calls feel like relentless nuisance rather than a legitimate outreach, so blocking them early is wise. The pattern of brief, silent drops and no voicemail points to a harassment tactic often used to scare or pressure recipients. Since the caller never engages beyond a quick hang‑up, treat the number as a spam source and add it to your carrier’s block list. If the calls persist, consider filing a complaint with the FTC and your phone provider. Regularly updating your spam filter settings can also reduce the likelihood of future interruptions.
