Expert Opinion

Strangely, a simple "hello" often meets an uncanny dead‑air that feels more like a test than a conversation. These calls usually stem from automated robocalls that use soundboards or pre‑recorded prompts, sometimes masquerading as market research or charitable surveys. The safest play is to let unknown numbers go to voicemail, then screen the message. If the call is silent or nonsensical, block the number and report it to your carrier or the national Do‑Not‑Call registry. Never share personal or financial details with a voice you can’t verify, and consider a call‑blocking app for added protection against persistent spam.
