Friendly reminder: Do not return calls from unfamiliar numbers that ring once and disconnect.

Recently, many netizens have reported receiving strange phone calls that ring once and then disconnect. When returning the call, it usually turns out to be a recorded message or advertisement. This has happened several times to some individuals! In such cases, Beijie reminds you not to return these calls, as they may be traps designed to induce users to return the call and incur high phone charges.

Many people have encountered this situation: their mobile phone suddenly rings, but just as they are about to answer, the call is disconnected. Worried that the caller might have something important to say, they return the call, only to hear a recorded message. Customer service representatives have stated that some of these calls can result in exorbitant phone charges, ranging from dozens to hundreds of yuan, which greatly infuriates mobile phone users. Calls of this nature are often made from other regions, making it impossible to retrieve relevant information about these phone numbers. Furthermore, there is no effective way to stop such calls from outside areas.
