Silent harassment calls – how to stop them!
Summary — +501
Expert Opinion
Beware of silent callers that drop the line after a few seconds. These silent or harassment calls often aim to confirm active numbers, trigger premium‑rate fees, or set up later scam attempts. Let the phone go to voicemail and record the exact caller ID. Add the number to your carrier’s block list and report it to the national complaint service. Never press keys or share personal data while the line is open. If any charge shows up on your bill, dispute it right away with your provider. Keep a log of repeat calls – patterns help authorities track abusive operations.
