Imagine the phone rings and then drops silent—no greeting, no voicemail, just a dead air. Those abrupt hangs often signal either a blind‑dialing sweep or a brief script test by a fraud operation. If you keep getting these blanks, let the call go to voicemail before you answer, and consider blocking the number after a couple of repeats. When a voice finally appears and asks for personal info, that’s a red flag; hang up and report it to your carrier. Keeping a log of timestamps can help filter out patterns and protect you from more aggressive scams.
