Expert Opinion

A caller claiming to be from a Chinese department asked for a FaceTime video, then hung up. This pattern matches common fraud where the attacker uses a familiar-sounding department to gain trust and push you into a real‑time video link. Never share personal info or confirm identity over an unsolicited call. End the conversation immediately, block the number on your device, and consider adding it to a national do‑not‑call registry. Report the incident to your phone carrier and, if you suspect identity theft, alert the relevant agencies. Using a call‑screening app can also filter out future suspicious outreach.
