A single report highlights a caller displaying personal knowledge by using the recipient's full name, yet reacting poorly to correction with immediate hang-ups—even on callbacks. This pattern suggests scripted interactions prone to quick disengagement when challenged, common in unsolicited outreach. Personalization tactics like name-dropping aim to build false rapport, but evasion upon scrutiny raises red flags for potential manipulation. Stay cautious: never share more details if they persist, and consider blocking the number. Reporting to authorities or apps like Nomorobo can help track similar behaviors and protect others from these intrusive tactics.
