Picture your phone lighting up at night with a call from an unfamiliar number asking for donations. That kind of outreach often comes from a non‑profit organization that may be legitimate or a spam effort trying to exploit goodwill. When you don’t recognize the caller, let the call go to voicemail and listen for any official identifiers. Check the organization’s official website or contact them directly using a known number before giving any money. Keep a record of the number and share it with your carrier’s spam‑blocking service. If the call feels aggressive or pressuring, it’s safest to block the number and report it.
