Then a click.
Sound familiar?

You will learn exactly what happens during those 3 seconds of silence and why saying hello is the worst thing you can do.
Most importantly, we give you a complete four-step defense plan called the Silent Shield that you can start using today.

Our Note: the strategy presented in the video has a flaw - your background noise. Some scammers will recorder that background noise in spite of not saying hello - indicating they have a real person. You are better off letting an unknown caller or a number you do not recognize go to voicemail then retrieve the voicemail later.
