Calls that just play a survey prompt and drop dead are a classic spam tactic. Most of these rings from +14012138738 turn out to be automated robocalls pushing bogus Google business offers or trying to add you to a do‑not‑call list. They often provide no real message and hang up as soon as you respond. If you receive one, let it go to voicemail, block the number, and report it to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑filter service. Avoid pressing any keys, as that can confirm your number is active. Regularly update your call‑blocking app to stay ahead of new scams.
