Oddly enough, the same number keeps popping up in silent drops, quick hangs, and bogus prize offers, a classic hallmark of competition‑driven telemarketing scams. Callers usually claim you entered a sweep‑stake you never signed up for, then pressure you for a survey or bank details. The safest move is to ignore the call, never disclose personal or financial info, and immediately block the number on your handset. If the number resurfaces on a different prefix, use your carrier’s call‑filtering tools or a third‑party app. Reporting the pattern to consumer protection agencies can also help curb the nuisance.
Received a nuisance call – easy fix is to enable your phone’s call‑blocking feature and mute SMS alerts, so you won’t even notice it rang. Just saying.
This appears to be a fraudulent number.
