Ever wonder why a number keeps slipping away just as you try to answer? The pattern you described—multiple attempts followed by an immediate hang‑up—matches a classic ping call tactic used to harvest valid phone lines without delivering a real message. Callers often rely on the brief connection to confirm the number is active, then disappear to avoid detection. To protect yourself, let the call go to voicemail, block the number in your phone settings, and consider reporting it to your carrier or a consumer protection agency. Avoid returning the call, and keep a log of timestamps in case the volume escalates.
