Picture this: a call flashes "Academic Advisor" on your screen, yet the voice sounds nothing like a university rep. The label often masks a scam designed to harvest personal information. Let the call go to voicemail before deciding to engage, and never share passwords, SSNs, or banking details. Use your phone’s built‑in call blocking feature or a third‑party app to silence the number. Report the incident to the FTC and, if you suspect a specific institution, contact them directly using official contact info. Staying cautious keeps your data safe.
The caller identification displays "ACADEMICADVISOR", which appears to be a deceptive tactic.
The caller ID displayed 'ACADEMICADVISOR', and a recording by 'Ashley' started immediately. I hung up, uninterested in the call's purpose.
