Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a call from an unknown number that hangs up before you can speak. Those brief, silent rings are a classic pattern for aggressive fundraising or spam operations that rely on persistence rather than a clear message. If you don’t recognize the caller, let it go to voicemail and review the number later. Register the line with the national Do‑Not‑Call list, use call‑blocking apps, and never share personal or financial details with someone who cannot identify a legitimate organization. When a caller claims to represent a charity, ask for a written request and verify the nonprofit through official channels before considering any donation.
