Imagine getting a silent call from a number that flashes “Herndon, VA” on your screen, then hanging up with no message left. This pattern matches a classic spoofed telemarketing scam that pretends your business or listing has been flagged on Google Maps. Callers rely on dead air to prompt a callback, hoping you’ll answer and be sold a bogus service. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, block the offending number, and report it to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑blocking service. Regularly update your do‑not‑call list and consider a third‑party call‑filter to keep the spam at bay.
Calls originating from Herndon, VA, often result in no message being left, raising concerns about how to effectively block these calls despite being on the do not call registry.
