Expert Opinion

Never ignore a suspicious automated call. When a robocall claims a government agency or a lawsuit is pending, treat it as a red flag and avoid sharing personal data. Verify the claim by contacting the agency directly using official contact details, not the number on the call. Use your phone’s built‑in call blocking features or a reputable third‑party app to stop future attempts. Report the number to the FTC or your local consumer protection office to help track fraudulent activity. Keep a log of the call’s content and time for reference, and consider updating privacy settings on any linked accounts.
