Why Silent Calls Happen

Silent calls from numbers like 02 7249 5098 serve a specific purpose in scam operations. When you answer, the system confirms your number is active and monitored by a real person. This makes your number more valuable to scam networks, which then sell the validated number to other operators or retry the scam themselves. Some silent calls also precede follow-up scam attempts within days or weeks.

If you receive a callback request (where the caller hangs up after a ring or two), do not return the call. Returning a call to 0272495098 or similar numbers can trigger expensive international charges or connect you directly to a scam operation.
