That's actually right on target. While many people let everything go to message, some are sufficiently curious to dial a number back and ask what the caller wanted (especially if, for instance, they're waiting to hear from a doctor/lab).Not to get off topic, but I'm fed up with all the robo-calls to my cell phone. So unless I know you and the number I don't even answer it anymore. Sorry in advance for the topic drift.
I just got a robot call saying my "Social Security number has been suspended due to criminal activity, press one to speak with an officer."
Okay sure.
Pressing 1 "to be removed from our list" only confirms to the computer at the other end that a human responded at your end, so now it treats your number as legit and available for ongoing exploitation.They got yours too? Dang it!!
Yah, had that call the other day...
Get hang up/no message calls every day.
Dunno what those are about.
The scammer calls, press 1 to be removed etc I can kinda see. As they are fishing, or just confirming a real number they then can sell on some list. But the hang ups? Argh!

My phone allows me to block phone numbers. I'd assume most smartphones do the same. It saves a lot of annoyance.
TBH, I don't answer numbers I don't recognize anymore. If it's important they'll leave a voicemail or we just won't be talking.Yah, but new hang ups almost everyday...
