Imagine receiving a brief, silent ring from an unfamiliar Auckland number while you’re on night shift. The call drops after a few seconds, leaving you wondering if it’s a robocall, a misdial, or a scam probe. Since the caller never identifies themselves, the safest move is to let the call go to voicemail and review the message later. If no voicemail is left, consider blocking the number or adding it to a spam‑filter list. Keep a log of repeat calls and share the pattern with your carrier; they can often flag persistent offenders. For added peace of mind, use a call‑screening app that flags unknown or suspicious callers.
Yet another Auckland/Waiheke‑area call that lasts about 30 seconds before dropping; I keep my phone muted while on night‑shift, and they call at odd daytime hours.
