Expert Opinion
Yesterday evening, a wave of calls from +19163850046 shows up in many inboxes, mostly described as a political survey or opinion poll. Callers often promise a small payment but avoid asking for personal details, then hang up or stay silent. Never share your name, email, or financial info unless you can verify the organization. Use your phone’s block feature, report the number to the FTC or your carrier, and consider a call‑filtering app. If the call claims to be from a government agency, request official contact details and look them up independently. Stay skeptical and protect your data.
