Expert Opinion

Yesterday evening, a wave of calls from +17786552440 showed up on several users’ screens, many describing aggressive debt‑collection tactics or outright scam scripts. Callers claim to be from utilities, credit agencies, or even Telus, but often demand personal details or a mother’s phone number before a proper greeting. The pattern suggests a spoofed identity trying to pressure recipients into compliance. Best practice: let unknown numbers go to voicemail, never share personal or financial info, and block the number on your device. Report persistent offenders to your carrier and to the national fraud centre to help curb these nuisance calls.
