Expert Opinion
Late this evening, the +1378491000 number showed up on multiple phones as a mysterious caller. The calls often claim to be from banks or insurance firms, but they usually come from outsourced telemarketing outfits. To stay safe, never disclose personal data like your ID number, credit‑card details, or full address unless you have independently verified the caller’s identity. Ask for a callback number and contact the institution directly through official channels. Use your phone’s block feature, report the number to the consumer‑protection agency, and consider a call‑screening app. Staying cautious protects both your privacy and your finances.
