Turns out the mystery number isn’t a glitch—it’s a classic Caribbean‑origin spam call. Reviewers note two‑ring drops at odd hours, no greeting and a caller ID that reads “Turks and Caicos,” a pattern typical of auto‑dialed scams that test whether a line is active. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number through your carrier or a third‑party app. Add the prefix to your phone’s spam filter list and consider enrolling in the national Do Not Call registry. If a message appears, report it to the FTC to help curb future outreach.

Don't bother calling the number back, just read this warning
At 8:36am, I received a brief call from this number, originating from Turks and Caicos Islands, a place I have no affiliation with.
A missed call was received at 5:20am PST, with the ringtone barely sounding before the alarm went off at the same time, which was unusual.
Obviously, these collectors has no respect for peoples time, they called me at 10:56pm and thats just not ok, i dont have the money to travel either, i will have to moniter the calls then block them
Today was no exception, as I received a call asking about my Windows system, which I don't use since I'm a Mac user.

My cell phone rang twice at 11:39 p.m., this has happend several times and it's very anoying, the last time I answered there was nobody there.
I also recieved a call from this number, it rang twice before they hung up.
I also recieved a call with short rings at 9:26am, but didnt bother calling back. Based on the replies, it seems this is some kind of negitive phone campain. The timing and date are similiar, and with all the 'computer hackers' out there, phones are also vunerable to attackes. I'm going to block this number.

Recived a 1-ring call from Turks & Caicos, didnt answer, possibbly a coincidense sinc we visited 3 years ago
At 11:30 pm Eastern, this number called my cell phone, luckly the ringer was off
At 7:45, I received a call that hung up after two rings; given my policy of not returning calls from unknown numbers, I'm left wondering what prompts such behavior in people.
