One contributor reported a call that "hung up like they were playing tag," suggesting the caller disconnected as soon as the line was answered. This pattern is consistent with callback scam methodology, where automated systems dial numbers to identify active targets for follow-up exploitation, or with robocall operations testing for answerable numbers.

A separate contributor described receiving "annoying spam calls" from 0399681172 that kept repeating, indicating this is not a one-off misdial but deliberate, sustained contact. The lack of any message or voice greeting mentioned in the reports suggests automated calling rather than a legitimate business enquiry.
