Stay alert when that number rings – the call often masquerades as a legitimate debt collector but can be a trap. Verify the caller’s identity by checking the official website and looking up the company name in the Better Business Bureau. Never share Social Security numbers, bank details, or payment info until you’ve confirmed the agency’s credentials. If the request feels urgent or threatening, hang up and contact the creditor directly using a known phone number. Block the caller on your device and report the incident to the FTC or your state consumer protection office to help curb future scams.
