what is the point of “Robo Calls?”

297 viewsOther

It is early afternoon on a Wednesday and I have had SIX of those calls where no one is there. And caller ID claims they are from smallish towns in my state (Twisp Wa, Fife Wa, Olympia, etc) but I know spammers can make it from anywhere they want. I am home recovering from minor surgery so out of curiosity/boredom I’ve been answering them today. And they aren’t the traditional “your car warranty is expiring” or “we’ve noticed activity on your account”, “do you want to sell your house” BS. Just SILENCE. Not even heavy breathing.

Why? What can someone gain from this?

If you pick up, you’re put on a list of phone numbers that will be more likely to pick up a random call.

In other words, don’t pick up if you don’t recognise the number. If it’s an important call, they’ll leave a message.
