Imagine receiving a call from an unfamiliar number and you’re not sure if it’s legit. First, let the caller speak without giving personal details—your name, address, or bank info are off‑limits until you verify who’s on the other end. If the tone feels pressuring or the offer sounds too good, hang up and search the number online or report it to your carrier. Use call‑blocking apps for repeated nuisance calls, and consider setting a PIN for any account changes. When in doubt, contact the organization directly using a known phone number or email, not the one the caller provided.
Got a promotional call about a new service; they were friendly but clearly trying to sell something.
