Expert Opinion

Ever wonder why a silent call drops after a few seconds? Those brief, silent connections are classic hallmarks of robocall scam that aim to verify active numbers or simply waste your time. Callers often hang up before you can speak, leaving you with no clue about the purpose. To stay safe, let unknown numbers go to voicemail, avoid returning calls, and consider a call‑blocking app. If you answer, hang up immediately and report the number to your carrier or a consumer protection site. Keep a log of repeat offenders and never share personal data on unsolicited calls.
