Picked up call but silence before hanging up. No voicemail left. Suspicious!

My phone marked this as suspected spam. I have received similar calls from closely related numbers recently and ignored them all due to the obvious pattern.

Same as others, many calls from similar ending number, 8795, 8796, 8797, 8800. Calling everyday in the morning and evening. Very suspicious. Many websites reported similar issues. Don’t take the call.
