Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a midnight call about a fire that never happened—most people panic, but staying calm helps you protect your data. First, verify the caller’s identity by asking for their name, company, and a callback number; then hang up and call the official number on your alarm contract. Never share personal or financial details until you’re certain the call is genuine. If you discover the number is on a broad list, request removal under privacy laws or add it to your phone’s block list. Regularly review who has your contact information and keep your alarm provider’s contact details updated to avoid unwanted surprises.
