Bottom line: these brief, silent rings are typical of automated TV‑license reminder calls. Callers usually flash the number, let it ring for a couple of seconds, then hang up to meet a call‑quota without engaging you. From a data‑protection angle, never hand over personal data to a voice‑mail or recorded message, even if it claims to be from a doctor or a TV‑licence office. Verify any request on the official SABC website or through a known customer portal before responding. Use call‑blocking tools, register the number on a Do‑Not‑Call list, and report suspicious activity to the regulator.
They left a voicemail acting like theyre from a doctors office. But when you ring back, its just a recording about TV licenses or whatever????
No point in picking up

Agingelwe ukuthi bengazi, kodwa ngicacile ukuthi bathanda ukwenza ucingo oluvamile oluvunyelwe ukukhala imizuzwana emibili ngaphambi kokuhamba. Ukwaziphatha okunjalo okungazelelwa komuntu ohlangabezana nesibopho se-quota lapho bathi 'bafowune' futhi bangakhabamela lelo bhokisi. Eish, lokho kuyinto eyishaya amandla!

It dials once briefly before disconnecting.
