Silent Call
When I answered, the caller immediately hung up; the number was private.
Late afternoon in Berlin, this call from an unknown number fits the pattern of a classic ping call, where the caller dials just to see if the line's active before hanging up—often to confirm for later spam or scam attempts. No ID or voice means they're testing waters without committing. These nuisances spike in evenings, aiming to build lists of reachable numbers. Block the number right away to cut off follow-ups, and enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns. If patterns persist, report to your carrier; it's low-effort but effective against these probes. Stay vigilant—ping calls rarely lead to direct harm but pave the way for worse.
