Phone call that hangs up instantly

Hi, getting pretty annoyed by this for a while. Just wondering if others have similar experience?

 

Do you ever have your phone ring, and when you pick it up, the other end hangs up instantly or after a short pause? Most of the time the calls are from un-disclosed number, but today I got 1 with a land line number. Hmm...

worse are those with private numbers. cannot don't pick up wait customers complain.

 

could this be one of those china scam that charged you exorbitant fees just for picking up the call?

A lot of psycho people out there...

 

I also got this idiot - called my mobile and hang up

 

When I returned the call, he asked me why I call him...I was like WTF, you were the one who called me...

 

Even after I put down the call, he called me back to pester me and this went on up to midnight...

 

Luckily I was able to use Call Firewall to block his calls - there was once he called >40x in succession!

LAst time, once or twice a month i will get calls from private line.

When u pick up then the other hang up, it will happen once or twice continue.

A while later this bank(c!t!) will call n ask whethr u need to use the OD or something.

One time i mentioend to the caller (fm bank) that everytime before u call i will

recieve funny call that will hang up....after that i think it stopped...no more funny call.

Not sure if the funny call is to check if the phone number is ok the the marketeer will take over...

Sounds like I am not alone. Mine is also on and off. I only started to reject private calls recently. Don't seems like a scam or anything similar so far...

mine is worst

 

this fellow always call my house at 7.55pm everyday w/o fail

call one time, dun talk

than after 2-3 minutes will call again

until my whole family so sick..any fone calls around that time we don't bother to pick up

 

 

this has been going on for few months and now weekend also call

 

we suspect it could be some company that is faxing something over or some programmed calling

 

than we got caller ID and trace the no. to an engineering company. We call them up but nobody answer the line. Than singtel give us another no. and we call back also nobody answer

 

my sis went onlien to search for this no and it was linked to a spa/lounge

Many years got this woman everynight call me in the wee hrs. Whenever I pick up the call she automantic hang up my call. I SMS her and ask her do I know her is that anything I can help her. She call me back say she like calling tone, all these thanks to singtel free colour-me-tone 6 mths promotion. She even ask me can she continue to call my no. to listen to the calling tone. I decline her request and cancel the service. Just to share my experience.
