Imagine a stranger dialing you and asking for an email to send funding updates – that’s a classic red flag. The request to share personal contact details, especially when the caller mentions a vague company like ADS, should trigger caution. Do not provide any personal information until you can independently verify the organization’s legitimacy. Search the company name, check official websites, and look for reviews or scam reports. If the call feels off, hang up, block the number, and consider filing a complaint with the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical and protecting your data are the simplest defenses.
