If you keep seeing a number that rings briefly and then goes to voicemail, it’s often a robocall or a missed‑call scam where the caller hopes you’ll call back and incur charges. Never dial back a mysterious number, especially if you didn’t expect the call. If the caller leaves a voicemail, listen for clues like urgent language, promises of cash, or requests for personal info—those are red flags. Consider blocking the number on your phone and reporting it to your carrier’s spam‑filter service. If you’re ever unsure, a quick online search of the number can reveal if others have flagged it as a scam.
