Verify unknown numbers before engaging. With no reports on this caller, treat incoming calls cautiously—scammers often use unfamiliar area codes to build trust. Hang up immediately if the conversation feels off, and never share personal details like Social Security numbers or bank info. Enable call blocking on your phone for repeated nuisances, and report suspicious activity to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Use apps like Truecaller for quick lookups to stay safe from potential phishing attempts or telemarketing ploys. Staying vigilant protects your privacy and finances.
Got a call from a financial services firm that was pushing products nonstop—definitely intrusive.
