Expert Opinion
Oddly enough, the same number keeps popping up as a so‑called research call. Callers repeatedly show up as “Research,” ring silently, and then ask for birth year, employment details, or credit‑card information—classic signs of a scam masquerading as a survey. Because no genuine market‑research firm leaves a normal voicemail, the safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, block the number, and file a complaint with your carrier or the consumer‑protection agency. Never hand over personal info or follow any emailed links, and consider a call‑filtering app to catch future research calls before they reach you.
