That's a bot. It calls about forty or so people all at once and transfers whoever answers first, to the scam call and then continues like that, cycling through numbers every week.
Since you picked up this one time, It's going to continue because it has registered that you picked up, thus it's going to want to get you to do that again.
wowww you must be really experienced, where did you learn all this?
I had that problem a while back, where I would be called up by an untraceable number. Everytime I answered - and I answer by not answering, I just pick up the phone, wouldn't want to risk them recording my voice or anything like that, but It was almost always just white noise on the other side and then they would disconnect the call.
I eventually started to notice a pattern that it was calling in - Every four or so days, it would call me two to four times.
One time when I picked up I could hear a man talking for a bit, but his connection sounded really poor I could barely hear him and then it disconnected.
I figured, that because of the pattern that the number was calling in
-as if it was calling according to a phone book every week cycling through the same numbers -numbers that were registerd to have answerd the call- - and the infrequencies within the answer rate -
that an actual person answered happened only once in four months must mean that I was not the only one being called by that very same number, just that I was transferred forward that one time cause I managed to answer first- That the calling was more than likely done via a bot.
woa that's some mad problem solving, props to you for figuring it out
