Imagine receiving a call from an estate agent asking if you’d consider selling your home. This is a classic example of unsolicited cold‑calling that falls under telemarketing rules. The caller is not authorized to access your personal data, so never share financial details or schedule viewings without verifying the company’s credentials. Ask for a written identification, look up the agency online, and block the number if you’re not interested. Register the number with your national do‑not‑call list, and report persistent calls to the communications regulator. If the call claims urgent action or threatens legal action, treat it as a red flag and hang up immediately. If you suspect fraud, forward the recording to the consumer protection agency. Staying cautious keeps your privacy safe.
