Block unknown numbers immediately if they hang up on answer—it's a common tactic to verify active lines for later spam. Enable call screening on your phone to filter out silent callers, and report to your carrier for blacklisting. Consider using apps like Truecaller to identify patterns; these silent hang-ups often signal scam probes or telemarketing bots testing for responses. Never call back, as it confirms your number is live. Stay vigilant with privacy settings to limit shared contact info online, reducing unwanted calls overall.
They just dropped the call as soon as I picked up, no conversation—what a jerk, crazy, right?
When I picked up, the line was cut off before any conversation.
