Expert Opinion

Bottom line: treat any unexpected call from +17162688998 as suspicious until you verify its source. Avoid sharing personal data like Social Security numbers, bank details, or passwords unless you’re certain who’s on the line. Use your phone’s block feature or a third‑party app to stop repeat calls, and consider registering your number with the national Do‑Not‑Call list. Check with your carrier for caller ID spoofing alerts and report persistent harassment to the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. When in doubt, hang up and independently contact the organization using official contact information.
