Expert Opinion

Imagine receiving a silent ring followed by a brief click, then a sudden Spanish‑language pitch about accidents or police fund‑raisers. Callers like this often test whether a line is active before launching a scripted scam, using fear or urgency to extract money. Never share personal details, and let the call go to voicemail to capture the exact content. If the call claims to be law enforcement, hang up and verify through official channels. Block the number promptly and consider reporting it to the FTC’s spam‑call database. Keeping a log of timestamps can help pattern‑match future attempts.
