Expert Opinion

These calls are most likely generic spam that exploit a local Howell, MI area code to appear trustworthy. Callers typically hang up after a few rings or deliver a brief, rude script, which matches the pattern you described. The silent‑ring technique is often used for number verification, letting scammers confirm active lines before launching larger campaigns. To protect yourself, let the call go to voicemail, block the number, and report it to the FTC’s spam‑call portal. If a caller insists on personal info, hang up immediately and avoid callbacks through unknown apps. Staying vigilant keeps your line free of spam and robocall nuisances.
