Imagine the moment you answer a call from an unfamiliar number and the voice immediately asks for your first name without explaining why. The conversation repeats the request, then the line drops as soon as you push for details. This pattern often signals a harassment or unknown caller trying to gauge personal information. To stay safe, never reveal personal or financial data, hang up if the purpose isn’t clear, and consider blocking the number. Record the call details and report the incident to your local consumer‑protection agency or telecom regulator. Keeping a log helps authorities spot repeat offenders and protect others.
Requested to talk to Mr [my first name]. When I asked what it was about, the same request was repeated. After further questioning, they hung up.
