Repeatedly hearing the line go dead after a few seconds has left many frustrated. These silent, drop‑off calls are classic hallmarks of a high‑volume survey operation that relies on persistence rather than a real conversation. The safest play is to let the call route to voicemail, then send a clear written request to be removed from their list—most legit firms honor a written opt‑out. Register the number with the national Do‑Not‑Call list and enable carrier‑provided call‑blocking or a third‑party app. Never confirm personal details, especially birth dates or family names, and consider filing a complaint with the FTC if the calls continue despite your opt‑out request.
For two consecutive nights, I received calls from this number, with no identification provided and no message left, including a late-night call that led me to block the number, and it has since appeared on my missed calls list multiple times.
