Block the number right away to halt further harassment. When a call claims to be from a debt collector, ask for a written debt validation notice within five days and keep a detailed call log. Never share Social Security numbers, bank details, or credit‑card info over the phone unless you have independently verified the organization’s identity. If the caller refuses to provide their name, address, or licensing details, treat the call as a likely scam and report it to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency. Consider using call‑blocking apps and registering your line on the national Do‑Not‑Call list for added protection.
