Yesterday afternoon, a wave of calls from +16312107313 left many recipients hanging up on silent background noise and a persistent request for nonexistent employees. Callers often sound like an Indian‑accented woman claiming to represent a technical magazine, sometimes mentioning Power Engineering and a subscription renewal. The pattern—brief silence, background chatter, and immediate hang‑up—suggests a low‑effort telemarketing script rather than a legitimate service. Block the number, register with the National Do Not Call Registry, and avoid sharing personal details. If a call claims urgency, verify the organization independently before responding. You can also report the number to the FTC to help curb similar scams.
