Human Factors
I was in cruise from ZZZ to ZZZ1 at 3;000 feet MSL with the autopilot engaged. Flight following with Approach was established and we were in communication. I saw an aircraft converging from the left and took evasive action to avoid a collision. The aircraft appeared slightly lower; so I chose to climb.I reported the near miss to Approach (frequency we were on). They responded claiming to have called us multiple times about the converging traffic. We did not receive any transmissions in-regards to traffic. The radios were silent.
Cessna 210 pilot reported executing an evasive maneuver resulting in an uneventful NMAC event during cruise.
