Expert Opinion

Turns out these calls are political surveys, not a scam. Most recipients describe a brief, unnamed outreach linked to elections or research firms, which aligns with typical survey outreach rather than debt or telemarketing pitches. If you’re unsure, let the call go to voicemail and verify the organization’s name before sharing any personal data. Register your number with the national Do Not Call list, and consider a call‑blocking app that flags unknown political pollsters. Keep a log of repeated numbers; a pattern of multiple calls in minutes often signals an aggressive pollster. When in doubt, hang up and research the caller online.
