Block the number on your device and register it with the national do‑not‑call list. Most callers simply hang up after a brief greeting, indicating an automated or low‑effort script. If a voice mentions charities or internet upgrades, treat it as a potential scam and verify independently before sharing any details. Keep a log of timestamps and patterns; repeated calls from the same prefix often point to a nuisance‑call farm. Use call‑screening apps that flag unknown callers, and consider reporting persistent offenders to your carrier. Staying vigilant and limiting exposure reduces the annoyance and protects your personal information.

I declined to respond to the call.
They keep dialing then drop the call, crazy.
Multiple calls end abruptly; they hang up. There are so many of these numbers that screening each one is exhausting—very frustrating.
Calls keep coming back and then cut off. There are far too many numbers to screen each one—super irritating.
Calls keep coming back and then the line drops.
The caller disregards the message and continues to call.
