Expert Opinion

Like an unexpected guest dropping a sealed envelope on your doormat, a verification call appears out of the blue, often delivering a numeric code with no human voice. These calls are typically automated services used by platforms such as Microsoft or Telegram to confirm account changes, but they can also be spoofed by malicious actors seeking credential leaks. Always cross‑check the code against a recent request you initiated; if none exists, let the call go to voicemail and do not disclose personal details. Consider using app‑based authentication instead of phone prompts, and add the number to your block list if it becomes a nuisance. Staying vigilant and verifying the source keeps your accounts safe.
