What Silent Calls from 0428 060 177 Indicate

When you answer a call from 0428 060 177 and hear silence rather than a greeting, several scenarios may be at play. The caller may be testing the line's validity before deploying a scam script, or they may be part of a robocall campaign that triggers agent connection only after you speak.
