what actually happens with a spam call and no one is in the other line, only a few clicks or beeps?

If you’ve never watched a spambaiter like [Kitboga](https://m.youtube.com/c/KitbogaShow/videos) or [Pierogi](https://m.youtube.com/c/scammerpayback), I can’t recommend it enough.
Just set your phone to have all #’s not saved in your phone go straight to voicemail. Your life will be so much better
Imagine you are managing a call center. You have 10 agents but 100 phone numbers to call.
You use an auto dialer that calls multiple numbers simultaneously. Each of your agents call 10 numbers at once.
If two people pick up for that specific agent, the second person to answer doesn’t connect to the agent, because they’re already on
The first call. They just get dead air.
Realistically, you’ll have thousands of numbers to call.
Note: this is illegal.

The most common one here in Canada is just a Chinese voice. Almost always from a spoofed number. Would love to know what it’s about
My number got put down as an old couple. I’m now getting all of their Medicaid calls. Every damn day.
My mom is 80, and she loves to mess with these guys. Her favorite is when they call for security on her microsoft account (that she does not have). As soon as she gets them to say “windows”, she is off to the races. She acts all naive and senile, starts asking what kind of windows they sell, do they sell Pella, do you have bay windows because the cat like bay windows… and on and on. If she makes it to 10 minutes she congratulates them for staying on so long, points out they are scammers that just got conned by an old lady, and they can go pound sand.
I don’t answer my phone unless it’s a number in my contacts. When spam call me, it goes to voicemail and 9 times out of 10 is just a few clicks and a beep. I think by not answering I’m telling their computer that my number is no good.
Do not speak when this happens. Your voice sample may he used later in a scheme to take a loan in your name.
LPT: When you receive a phone call, don’t be the one that will talk first … let the caller talk. With this simple trick, you will avoid all call centers.
