MODERATORS
I definitely know about the spoofing - that's what made me figure it was spam initially.
The waiting for a voice response makes sense, but I've never encountered a system that didn't at least say some form of "hello." Not this persistent of one, anyway.
Thanks!
Interesting, one of the recent voicemails I received was a very high-quality voice courtesy one of everyone’s favorite text-to-speech companies (perhaps ElevenLabs)
Wonder if it’s possible they were trying to route on the fly, if they had such a low latency system that they’re able to wait for potential victims to say hello before instantly transferring to a human scammer.
