Ever pondered why unknown calls like this one go straight to silence or a hasty hang-up? Reports paint a picture of persistent nuisance from +441618840688, often masquerading as home security or street work pitches that scream scam. Callers either clam up, spout dodgy scripts, or bail when voicemail kicks in, leaving folks blocking the number left and right. It's classic telemarketing gone rogue, with a whiff of harassment. Best bet: don't engage, report to your provider, and keep caller ID on—better safe than sorry with these time-wasters.
