Expert Opinion

Like a persistent knock at the door, unwanted calls keep ringing until you answer. Most of the reports describe a robocall that pretends to be a political survey or a duct‑cleaning service, a classic scam pattern. Never give personal details or press numbers on a call you didn’t request. If the caller claims to be a research group, hang up and verify the organization’s official contact info online. Use your phone’s built‑in block feature or a third‑party app to stop repeat calls, especially those that show up after hours. Report the number to the FCC or your carrier’s spam‑reporting line, and keep a log of any suspicious scripts you hear.
