Watch out: a call flashing “LONG BRANCH NJ” with no ringtone is a classic sign of a spoofed scam. Numbers that never connect or show up as invalid are often used to hide the real source and lure victims into sharing personal data. If you receive a similar call, let it go to voicemail, avoid pressing any buttons, and never give out credit‑card or Social Security details. Report the incident to your carrier and file a complaint with the FTC. Consider adding the number to a call‑blocking app and regularly review your credit reports for suspicious activity.
