Watch out for calls claiming you've won a Powerball prize and urging you to provide personal details or make a payment. These messages usually originate from unregistered mobile numbers and rely on the excitement of a sudden windfall. Never share banking information or send money to secure a supposed prize. Verify any lottery claim by contacting the official organization directly, using contact details from their website—not the caller. If the call feels pressuring or asks for upfront fees, hang up and report the number to your telecom regulator or consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical protects your data and finances.
