Someone called me from a +971 number and hung up after a few seconds. I don’t recognize the number at all. Has anyone used a lookup service to check whether similar calls have been flagged as scams?
I wouldn’t assume that a short call is automatically a scam, because there can be several harmless explanations for a caller hanging up quickly. Still, if I don’t recognize the +971 number, I’d check it before returning the call. Looking for previous reports can show whether other people experienced similar behavior. I’d use a site to search the number first, then consider the available information before deciding whether to respond.
