Block any silent hang‑up calls immediately to protect your privacy. When you receive a call that goes dead on entry, let it ring once and then hang up; avoid engaging with any automated prompts. Use your phone’s built‑in spam filter or a third‑party app to flag the number, especially if it repeatedly shows up as a survey source. Log the timestamp and any caller ID clues, then report the pattern to your carrier or a consumer protection agency. Regularly update your voicemail greeting to discourage callers from leaving vague messages, and consider registering your number on the national Do‑Not‑Call list to reduce robocall volume.
Calls to my landline come from various numbers that scammers rotate throughout the day. On one occasion I answered without greeting, and they immediately hung up when I stayed silent. Another time I had to end the call because of loud breathing from the other side.
At 4:25 PM on Tuesday, the call ended without a voicemail.
The call came in at 9:00 p.m and went strait to voicemail, no message was left.
When I accepted the call, there was only silence on the other end.
After five consecutive rings, I answered and an automated survey robot started speaking.
Whenever this number call, they dont leave a message, its kinda annoying.
The caller ID was incomplete, displaying only the phone number twice, which is why we did not answer the call.
Their tactic involves calling, allowing it to ring once, then hanging up, only to call again; if you answer, they hang up again, with the number being associated with Mainstreet according to Google.
The caller, likely a scammer, phoned without leaving a message, prompting me to block further calls from this number.
Upon researching this number, I found it to be associated with robo calls, scams, and fraud; I've reported similar incidents to the RCMP, Ottawa corporate crimes, and the FBI.
