Your neighbour dialed a new number without hanging up his ongoing call? Is this his first time operating a telephone? The scammers mustn't have believed their luck when they realised that was happening. Did they mimic a "brnnnnggg brnnnggg" sound when he dialed?
- function_seven 5y agoThe connection isn't always torn down immediately. Different switches behave differently in this regard. I remember a long time ago being trolled by a friend of mine who refused to hang up. I wanted to call someone else, but every time I picked up the handset to dial out, he was still on the line laughing at me. So if you're served by a switch that operates this way, the scammer just holds the line open, plays dialtone and ringback tones appropriately, and you're none the wiser.
