Question

I keep getting calls from this number but when I answer they hang up?
This number is relentlessly calling my landline but as soon as I answer they hang up, I havent tried calling it back in case it is some sort of scam. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know what it is??

Answer

After finding some information about the number , many people have had the same problem it seems looking at the quotWho Calls Mequot Website, and someone came to a conclusionbrbrquotI finally found out who called me, it was a Pet Insurance with advertising their products etc.quotbrbrWith this evidence I came to this conclusionbrbrI think its an Auto Mated Phoned Dialer, there illegal in this country I think.. Basically phone up aload of number at the same time, whoever answers first gets a voicemail message, anyone else who answers gets silence.brbrHope this helps.
