Block the number and never share personal data with callers claiming to be from banks or law‑enforcement agencies. Verify any purported affiliation by calling the official institution directly, not the number that called you. Be wary of high‑pressure tactics like "hold the money" or threats involving the FBI—these are classic red flags. If you suspect a scam, report the call to the FTC and your phone carrier, and consider filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Keep a log of the call details; it helps authorities track patterns and may protect others from falling victim.
