Silent survey calls from Howell, MI—how to stop them!
Summary — +15172250142
Expert Opinion
When the call ends without a voicemail, it feels like a block. Most reports describe silent rings from a number that shows up as Howell, MI and claims to be a political survey, yet never leaves a message. This pattern is typical of nuisance or scam‑suspect calls that rely on repeated rings to pressure a callback. Best practice is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number and report it to the FTC or your phone carrier. Add the number to your Do‑Not‑Call list, and consider a call‑filtering app that flags unknown silent callers. Keeping a log of timestamps can also help if you need to dispute unwanted calls later.

I concur with the sentiment; two calls in as many days with no message left is grounds for blocking.
Blocking occurs if no message is left by the caller
