Watch for rapid hang‑ups like this and let the call go to voicemail before returning. Scammers often use a ping technique to verify active numbers, then disappear before you can engage. If the voice prompt says not to leave a message, treat it as a red flag and block the source. Keep a log of repeat attempts; multiple calls within days usually indicate a low‑effort robocall operation. Updating your carrier’s call‑filter settings can reduce exposure, and consider a third‑party blocker for added safety.

I tried calling twice last week; the first hit voicemail that told me not to leave a message, then a few days later I picked up and heard a bunch of background noise before they just dropped the call, man.
