Watch out for relentless calls that keep ringing past reasonable hours. Under U.S. telemarketing rules, most survey firms must honor the National Do Not Call Registry and may not call after 9 pm local time unless you’ve given prior consent. If the number keeps showing up, first ask for a written opt‑out and confirm the company’s name. Record the call details, then file a complaint with the FTC and your state consumer agency. Use built‑in call blocking or a third‑party app to shield your line, and never share sensitive personal data until you’ve verified the caller’s legitimacy. Protecting your privacy starts with clear boundaries and timely action.

Ignoring calls from unknown numbers might be a better strategy than blocking them, as Kerri suggests. Recognizing and ignoring a single number can be more effective than trying to block multiple, constantly changing spoofed numbers. It's also essential to consider the potential risks of sharing personal information with unknown callers, as their intentions and data usage practices are often unclear. Legitimate surveyors typically call at reasonable hours, valuing goodwill and cooperation. Operating under the assumption that unknown callers might be potential criminals can help maintain caution.
Recognizing the area code and suffix as potential scam indicators, the call was quickly ended, and further research confirmed the expected scam pattern, typically involving 'hunting numbers' or 'rollover numbers'.
