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?

One method:
* Get a list of contacts by either:
* Buy a unfiltered / unvetted list of contacts
* Generate a list of sequential numbers
* Call everyone on the list
* See who answers
* Sell a list of “good” contacts filtered to numbers who are willing to answer unsolicited calls
