Ever wonder why a simple ring turns into a dead‑end? Most of these reports describe a one‑time ring followed by an immediate hang‑up, a classic hallmark of robocall testing or spam verification attempts. The occasional reference to a “Rewards Dept.” or a bogus “Wellmed” script suggests scammers are probing for active numbers. To protect yourself, let unknown calls go to voicemail, block the number after the first attempt, and consider a call‑filtering service. If a recording asks for personal data, hang up—legitimate businesses never request sensitive info via an unsolicited call.
When I answered the call, a recording claimed to be from Wellmed, a legitimate company, but when they asked for my date of birth, I realized the call might be spam and hung up, hoping I had not compromised my information.
