This afternoon, a pattern many users notice surfaced: after blocking a familiar nuisance, another number rings with the same cadence. That behavior often signals a spoofed or rebroadcast call, where scammers reuse blocked identifiers to bypass filters. To stay safe, let the call go to voicemail, record the number, and add it to your phone’s block list. Consider reporting the number to your carrier or a national spam‑registry, and enable any available caller‑ID verification features. Regularly review your blocked list and be wary of any urgent‑tone requests for personal info.
Within minutes of blocking the known nuisance number 010 498 8040, this new one began ringing in the same manner, so I regarded it as suspicious and did not answer.
