Expert Opinion

Beware of unexpected calls that claim to represent police or a city survey. Such calls often aim to harvest personal data or pressure you into pressing buttons, which can lead to identity theft or unauthorized account access. Treat any unsolicited request for information, especially financial or credential details, as suspicious. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to your phone carrier or the appropriate fraud‑prevention agency. Avoid confirming any personal identifiers until you have independently verified the caller’s legitimacy through official channels. Keep a log of call times and content to help authorities track patterns and protect your privacy.
