Expert Opinion

A vague how‑are‑you greeting without any introduction is the hallmark of these nuisance calls. Callers often slip a quick hello and hang up, leaving no voicemail or identifying details. This pattern points to a low‑effort scam or telemarketing script that relies on curiosity to spark a callback. Protect yourself by letting unknown numbers go to voicemail, using your carrier’s block feature, or registering with a national do‑not‑call list. Never share personal or financial information with callers who cannot prove who they are, and report repeat offenders to your regulator. Staying cautious keeps scammers at bay.
