Ever wonder why that unknown Indiana number hangs up as soon as you answer? The pattern points to a low‑effort scam that drops the call after a brief greeting or background noise, often masquerading as a charity, VFW, or state‑trooper fundraiser. These silent or cut‑off calls rarely leave voicemails and rely on curiosity to extract personal info. Block the number immediately, add it to your carrier’s spam list, and consider filing a report with the FTC or local consumer agency. Don’t share credit‑card details or personal data, and let the call go to voicemail before deciding to engage.
This morning, I received a call from a woman with a country accent who claimed to be from the VFW post on Fort Benjamin Harrison, but she hung up when I said I didn't know her.
This number is a known scam, so it's best to ignore the calls
