Suspicious call

Hello, I received a call from 0172424612, a machine that puts me on hold and after a while thanks me for waiting and hangs up. I called back but this number is not assigned. Normally, I hang up immediately, but after several calls I got fed up and waited! I am by nature suspicious and I think this kind of call is not innocent. If anyone has any information? Thank you!

    It's not a scam
    it's telemarketing (well, still a scam :-) )

    They call people en masse
    that's why there's a pause, if you wait, you'll hear someone after 5 seconds

    Personally, I've had health insurance and electric curtain sales
    sometimes I say I'm not interested and hang up
    others I let them talk to the void

    Then I enter the number into the blacklist
    on Free, I know the procedure, others don't

    A crowded elevator will always feel different for a little person

      Personally, I have already received this phone call from this number and I got hit hard: €20 too much on my bill while no one answered me.
      Otherwise, watch out for you!

    Good evening.

    It's a scam: be very careful!

    There's not much to do, other than wait for the bill to see if too much money has been withdrawn.

    Sincerely.
