shady phone calls
Ok, so here at home we've been receiving some weird ass phone calls regularly : we pick up the phone, it goes silent for a couple seconds, the call goes dead. The last couple days we've been getting this sort of calls pretty much every hour(!) during the afternoon.
I'm trying to understand what could possibly be the purpose of this and here's the possibilities:
a) someone genuinely trying to call us, like from a foreign country (we have family in other countries), but with phone problems.
b) automated phone calls from some spam/advertising thing that keeps on failing. Notice that we get this sort of annoying calls pretty regularly, like surveys, people trying to convince us to change phone operator, etc.
c) prank calls from some dumb kid
d) calls to see if anyone picks up as a sign there's someone home - to see when's the correct time to do a robbery on the house. However, this would make loads more sense in other places or in a movie (  ) - this is a very safe area, and there's pretty much zero security at home. Hell, we often forget doors unlocked, there have been occasions where there's nobody home and we forgot a car outside left unlocked, etc etc. If someone wanted to rob this house, there'd be nothing left already.
e) i pissed off someone in the internet, they took it personal and somehow got my home phone number
Any ideas?
