Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a reminder for a meeting you never set up—an odd time slot, a generic sender, and a link that looks sketchy. That’s the hallmark of a scam call that masquerades as a job interview, training session, or appointment. These robocalls often use misspelled company names, vague details, and pressure you to click a link or call back. The safest move is to ignore the message, verify any supposed appointment directly with the real company using official contact info, and block the number. Report persistent offenders to the FTC and consider a call‑blocking app to keep your line clean.
