So my girlfriend is currently out of the country (I live in the US, she’s been living in Nicaragua for some months now). We were talking via Zoom, both the video and mic on, and she asked if I could call her phone. She is expecting a call tomorrow morning from Ohio so she just wanted to make sure that a call would go through. So (while we’re both on zoom and she’s watching me call her phone) after a few rings the call is answered despite the fact that her phone did not ring at all. What played on my end was random audio of a some sort of talk or interview; it felt like just like the middle part of a conversation being played out of context. But the audio was very clear, it specifically sounded like a recording of audio being played back, not like I was hearing an actual conversation being had in real time on the other end of the line. My gf and I were shocked for a good minute or two as it continued to play and she had no call on her phone. Eventually I hung up and tried to call her again and it went through fine. We tried a couple more times and it continued to work normally. But her phone has no history of the first call. It wasn’t even a scam of someone trying to sell something on the other line, but rather just a seemingly random person speaking randomly. Its all just very confusing, and naturally concerning in case her phone got some sort of malware/hacked/etc. We couldn’t really find much online that was helpful so I figure I would just post this here in case anyone has any ideas.
Calling my girlfriends number and random audio from a conversation played?
