I'm getting a few of those kinds of calls per day, and it appears to be that the criminals are failing at handing off the successful connection to a person on their end, which I suspect is just a nasty way of wasting *their* resources since they won't stop making fraudulent calls.
I finally just set my phone to screen all calls not in my contact list this past week, since not even changing my OGM to start with the Bellcore tri-tones for "number is invalid" hasn't seemed to make a dent in the bullshit. Sometime next week I'm going to resume attempting to get those calls so I can punish the wicked myself until someone sets their office on fire. On Sat, Feb 10, 2024 at 8:56 PM John F.
