At random occasional intervals at work we'll get a robocall from a spoofed number that's just... a looped recording of various office noises. Quiet chatter, a phone ringing in the background, etc. Same recording every time. No idea what the point is supposed to be. Once when I was bored I gave it a good 30 seconds to see if anyone would come on the line, but nope.

going from a recent John Oliver episode, messing with them might be harmful as its likely its just some sort of passport hostage whose job is to be the phone banks/call center.

tbh its either best to just ignore them completely so their criminal org managers dont give them a talk.

basically yeah
