A significant number of the spam calls I get are just dead air. Like, ring ring, I pick up, I say hello {myname} here, and I hear nothing.
I wonder if they're filtering out young voices? If I said hello in a quavery weak voice, would they start their pitch? Or is it some hapless scammer who just can't figure out how to set up his robocalling software?
- ALittleLight 6y agoI think these are calls with a potentially live person at the other end. Their system dials X numbers simultaneously and then hands off any answers to an operator. If there's no available operator then you'll just get dead air.
