Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, these calls masquerade as a security alert or credit‑card help line, but they’re really a classic scam aimed at harvesting personal data. Callers often spoof a local name such as “Security” or a town like Floral Park, NY, then pressure you with promises of lower interest rates or refunds. Never press 1 or share any card details; hang up and block the number. Report the incident to the FTC and your phone carrier, and consider a call‑blocking app. Staying skeptical and protecting your credit card information is the best defense against this telemarketing fraud.
