Beware of unknown calls: they can quickly lead to privacy hassles if you share details. When a number you don’t recognize rings, let the caller leave a voicemail before responding, and avoid pressing any keypad shortcuts. Do a quick reverse‑lookup on the number, but treat free‑search results with skepticism. Block the number in your phone’s settings and report it to your carrier if it persists. Keep personal identifiers—like Social Security, bank accounts, or passwords—offline until you’ve verified the source through official channels. Regularly review your call‑blocking apps and stay updated on the latest spam‑call filters for added protection.
The advertising call was noisy and overly aggressive, trying to sell a service I never asked for.
