Silent robocalls target numbers, experts advise caution
ZDNet·
Answering silent robocalls can inadvertently flag your phone number as active and valuable to scam operations. This practice often leads to an increased volume of subsequent fraudulent calls. Security experts recommend avoiding engagement with these calls entirely. Instead, consider blocking unknown numbers and utilizing call-blocking applications or services. These measures can help filter out potential scams and protect your privacy from persistent telemarketing and fraudulent schemes. Proactive steps are crucial to mitigate the risk of becoming a target for these deceptive practices.
