If you keep getting a call that answers and then drops the line, it’s almost always a telemarketing trick. Scammers use the brief connection to confirm your number is active, then hang up to avoid detection. The best move is to let it go to voicemail, don’t engage, and block the number if your phone lets you. Consider registering the number with your local do‑not‑call list and report repeated harassment to your carrier. Using a call‑screening app can also filter out these nuisance calls before they ring. Stay cautious, and never share personal info with unknown callers.
They ring up and drop the line as soon as you pick up—sounds like classic telemarketing, yeah.
