After picking up, the line was cut right away, then a text arrived from someone named “Sam.” I have since blocked the number.
Sam's Strange Call and Text – Ignore?

Expert Opinion
Calls that end abruptly followed by unsolicited texts raise immediate red flags in data protection terms. Picture picking up to silence, only for a casual 'hello' to ping your phone moments later—this pattern screams potential phishing or spam tactics designed to hook your attention and extract info. Block the number right away to cut off access, and report it to your carrier or authorities like the Do Not Call registry. Avoid replying to those texts; engaging could confirm your line is active, inviting more harassment. For peace of mind, enable spam filters on your device and monitor for unusual activity. If personal data feels compromised, consider a credit freeze to safeguard against identity theft.
