Late‑night rings with no voicemail often signal a low‑effort outreach that hopes to catch you off‑guard. The silence after the call suggests the caller either hung up intentionally or lacked a script, a hallmark of unsolicited or automated dialing campaigns. To protect yourself, let the call go to voicemail, then review the number online before returning any callback. If the number appears on spam lists, block it and consider reporting it to your carrier. Keep a log of repeat calls; patterns can help you decide whether a simple block suffices or if you need a more formal complaint.
Received a call from an unknown source that sounded automated. No real info was given.
Greenpeace's number rang, and the caller was friendly and informative—seems legit.
Got a call from this number out of the blue – nothing useful, just a vague sales pitch.
At 7:45 pm no voicemail was left and I received no follow‑up text.
