Ever wondered why some calls feel like a vague foreign script before they drop? The pattern you described matches classic spam or robocall tactics: a brief greeting, a push for a quick verbal cue, then a sudden silence. These bursts aim to capture a verbal consent that can be misused later, often for phishing or fraudulent charge‑backs. If you receive such a call, let the caller speak first, avoid confirming any agreement, and hang up immediately. Block the number through your carrier or a third‑party app, and consider reporting it to consumer protection agencies. Staying silent and skeptical is your best defense.
The voice sounded overseas, prompting me to say “hello” and “yes” before abruptly hanging up. Their motives don’t appear honest.
