Quick hang-ups after knowing personal details signal classic scam tactics, as seen in this report of a caller who knew the recipient's name but refused to identify themselves. Such behavior often aims to exploit trust or gather more info. Stay cautious with unsolicited calls; never share sensitive data like bank details or social security numbers. If pressed, demand the caller's full identity and company—legit callers provide this readily. Report suspicious numbers to authorities like the FTC to help track patterns. Hang up immediately on anything fishy, and consider using call-blocking apps for peace of mind.
The caller recognized my name, yet when I asked for identification they cut the line—likely a scam.
