Silent Calls and Callback Scam Risks
Silent or empty calls are often used as part of callback scam tactics. Scammers dial large batches of numbers and listen for a person to answer. If you respond to a silent call, your number is flagged as active and may be targeted again with follow-up scam attempts. If you don't answer, some scammers may hang up without leaving a message to avoid detection.
The report about 02 1280 0775 fits this pattern - calls with no voicemail suggest the caller has no legitimate service or message to deliver. Repeated calls from 0212800775 without communication are a strong sign of nuisance or scam activity.
