Surprisingly, many recipients report a courteous call warning of an imminent SSL expiration. The pattern shows callers using a friendly tone to claim the SSL certificate on a website is about to lapse, then push a paid renewal service. Legitimate hosting firms already handle renewals and rarely call directly. Before handing over any payment info, log into your hosting dashboard or use a trusted certificate authority to confirm the expiration date. Hang up if the caller pressures you or asks for credit‑card details on the phone. Register your domain privacy, block unknown numbers, and report persistent scams to your carrier.
