Calls mimicking a US ringing tone from an Irish number scream potential spoofing trickery. This setup often signals automated nuisance or scam attempts, dodging easy identification while probing for active lines. Hanging up and blocking stands as the smartest move here—prevents any data sharing or escalation. Always verify caller legitimacy through official channels, never return calls to unknowns. Enable call screening on your device to filter out-of-hours nuisances automatically. If patterns persist, report to your telecom provider for broader blocking; it safeguards privacy without much hassle.
