Got 5 missed calls within the span of 2 days. I basically never pick up calls from unknown numbers unless they call again. Luckily I searched up this number and found that it is likely a scam.
Called me 3 times today about 3 hours apart. No voicemail left.
When I called back someone answered, said hello and then there was just digital beeps, like numbers being pressed on a keypad. Hung up immediately.
3 missed calls: 10:30,12:25,2:22 pm. No messages or voicemail. Called back, got a "who's this?" followed by silence.
Number keeps ringing at what appears to be set intervals,10 am,12 pm,2 pm and 4 pm. Call rings for about 3 rings and thens ends. No voicemail left or text sent to explain why contact is made. Highly suspicious.
