They called my work phone, claiming to be from Merrill Lynch, but i hung up
It’s odd how often callers masquerade as financial advisors during market turbulence. The pattern here points to a classic impersonation scam where the script references a reputable firm to gain trust. Recipients should let unknown numbers go to voicemail, verify any claims through official channels, and never share personal or corporate info. Blocking the number and reporting it to the carrier can curb repeat attempts. Keep your caller ID settings tight, and educate colleagues about these tactics—especially when they reference well‑known institutions. A little skepticism saves time and protects both personal and business data.
