Expert Opinion

Imagine picking up a friendly voice that claims to raise money for the Red Cross, then the line goes dead in seconds. That’s a hallmark of high‑volume fundraising calls that rely on persistence rather than a genuine conversation. The callers often use generic scripts and will re‑dial several times a day, hoping someone will engage. To protect yourself, never share personal or financial details, request an immediate opt‑out and ask to be placed on their do‑not‑call list. Block the number on your device, report the nuisance to your carrier, and if the calls continue, file a complaint with the national telecom regulator.
