Calls from numbers like this often go unanswered when returned, a classic sign of evasion tactics used by scammers to avoid traceability. In one scenario, persistent ringing without pickup raises red flags for potential fraud attempts, where the caller probes for active lines or personal info without committing to a conversation. Hang up immediately on unsolicited calls and never call back unknown numbers—doing so can confirm your line is live, inviting more spam. Enable call blocking on your device for such patterns, report to authorities like the FTC, and consider apps that screen unknowns. Stay cautious; verifying caller identity through official channels is key to avoiding risks.
If you try returning the call after they called, the line goes unanswered, so I label it a scam caller.
