Watch for repeated missed calls from unfamiliar numbers and let them go to voicemail before returning the call. In this case the caller hung up after the initial ring, and the line later appeared disconnected, which often signals a spoofed or invalid source. Avoid dialing back immediately; instead, block the number if it shows up again and monitor for patterns. If you suspect a scam, report the number to your carrier and consider enabling call‑filtering services. Keeping a log of such incidents helps your provider fine‑tune fraud detection and protects you from future unwanted outreach.
Two attempts were made to call; the first was declined, and when I finally answered, the line was hung up. A return call showed the number had been disconnected.
