Received a call at 8:45 am this morning. Did not answer & no message was left. Did not call back, since I did not recognize this #. Will be blocking it.
So annoying. calls multiple times, doesn't leave a message. Called back and it's a non- working number as everyone else said. Just block the number if you see it!
I stupidly answered this call, since the ID read 'Commonhealth,' and my husband is in the midst of some radiation treatments. I didn't want to miss important information or an insurance question. Dumb. Of course, no one responded when I answered the call. Here's my question, though: Why do scammers (assuming that's what they are) call and then leave dead air? If they don't want to try to get our information, what DO they want?
Thanks, in the meantime, for this very helpful site and the great feedback from those who write in. Always appreciated!
The answer to your question is that they are probably trying to validate that the phone number is active. They will probably turn around and sell the number to other scammers, or even spoof it to use for other purposesl
