Yesterday evening, the phone rang and the odd silence that followed felt like a classic bait‑and‑switch. The caller never introduced themselves, letting the receiver sit in an uncomfortable pause before hanging up. This pattern is typical of automated scams that test for live humans before launching a full pitch. If you suspect a nuisance call, let it go to voicemail, block the number, and report it to your carrier. Avoid engaging, even with a brief greeting, as that can confirm a live line and increase future calls. Stay vigilant and keep your caller ID filter active.
Since i am waiting for a call from my insurance company, i have to pick up every call, but this one was just silence, probaly another scam
