Anyone else getting hangup calls?

My wife and I have been getting multiple calls (like 20 a day) the last several days from multiple area codes, one is the Cayman Islands. It will ring once or twice then hang up. I'm sure they are trying to entice someone to return the call for less than honorable goals. Just wondering if anyone else is getting these.

I have always been a little in fear if the scumbag thieving types can somehow see any credit card info or other things none of us want to share that have been on our phones or other electronics that have same email etc to tap us dry.
The good part is legitimate bank accts and credit cards are insured by the banks so keep an eye on stuff.
I push 2 on phone. Never say yes. There is voice banking now so they can tap your banks with voice recordings now.

I will send to, but Verizon put something on my phone that when I get a call that's not in my contact list it asks a question to the caller. If it's not answered right Verizon hangs up on them and all I get is a notification saying the number called then I push a block number button. And it's done. If people want the can text me after that and if it's not someone I know block em again lol.

Caller ID. If I don’t recognize it I don’t answer and let it go to voicemail. If it’s important they leave a message. If they don’t, it gets blocked.

With my work, I get phone calls from many unknown numbers that I must take. That means I must answer most calls. I am on the no call list, but lately that doesn't seem to stop the spam calls.

I understand and the no call list has been a joke for years.

Sure do get them. Most likely ROBO calls looking for anyone to answer. Rule of thumb in this house is not to answer unless the name or # is know.

Okay, mine are getting ridiculous. Between 4:44 and 6:19 this morning, I have had 6 of these calls and my wife had 5! I am not an early riser. I can get back to sleep but my wife is a light sleeper.😡🤬

That is exactly what the wife and I do. If they are not in my contact list they have to leave a message. I don't understand why doctor offices will not transmit their number. They make calls from so many phone numbers that I can not put them all in so they have to leave messages also. Why would a business block their number being transmitted???????
