I have been called by this number four times. The caller never leaves a message. If one does pick up, an automated voice says it is Avantis and demands to press 1 in order to speak with an operator. It is definitely at least very annoying and should be blocked.

The caller was supposedly Avantis. They had already rung twice in my absence without leaving any message. Today, when I picked up the receiver, I heard an automated voice asking to press 1 in order to speak to an “advisor”, after which I hung up to be on the safe side, even though it was only later that I did some research on that number.
