Expert Opinion

Like a phantom that vanishes the moment you greet it, this number drops the call as soon as you say hello. The pattern points to a robocall scam that relies on sudden silence to spark curiosity or irritation. Callers often mask themselves as benefit offices, government agents or generic call‑centres, making it hard to verify legitimacy. Never disclose personal details or confirm any reference to benefits, insurance or finances. Hang up, block the number and report it to your provider or a national spam‑stop service. If the call claims urgency, ask for a written reference and check official contact channels before acting.
