Calls that claim to be from Craigslist or a 'personal assistant' job often turn out to be scams. They typically pressure you to share personal data or move money to an account they control. Treat any unsolicited request to download remote‑access tools, verify PayPal info, or click unknown links as high risk. Hang up, block the number, and report it to the FTC or your phone carrier. Never compromise your financial security by providing banking details or authorizing transfers without confirming the caller’s identity through official channels. Keep a log of suspicious numbers and consider using call‑screening apps to reduce future exposure.
