Like a doorbell that rings at odd hours, an unexpected estate‑agent call can catch anyone off guard. When a number you don't recognize asks about selling your home, treat the conversation as a data‑privacy checkpoint. Never hand over personal data such as ID numbers, bank details, or address verification without first confirming the caller's legitimacy. Ask for a written reference or official company email, and search the number online for complaints. If the pitch feels generic, consider it a telemarketing effort and request an opt‑out or block the number. Regularly review your privacy settings and stay skeptical of unsolicited property offers.
