I ushed to work in a call centre, so I know how it works - usually, random numbers don't call you for your info. This is just a scam number, so hang up and block it.

Expert Opinion
Like a phantom doorbell that rings once and vanishes, the +1‑782‑482‑0117 number shows up, often labeled “Research,” then drops the call without a trace. Most reports describe it as a silent or brief scam‑style contact, leaving no voicemail and flagging as suspected spam. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, then delete it. Add the number to your phone’s block list, enable carrier‑provided spam filters, and consider third‑party apps that auto‑block known scammers. If you receive a text or voicemail claiming urgent action, verify the source independently before responding. Reporting the number to the FTC or your provider can help curb future outreach.

Given my experience in a call center, I'm convinced that random calls seeking personal info are usually scams, and it's best to hang up and block the number.
Says research on the caller ID, called me and hung up as soon as I said hello. Just another scammer
Got a call from this number, and the caller ID said 'Research' - they hung up as soon as I said hello. Scam artists, for shure!
