Beware of unsolicited calls that claim to represent reputable organisations – they often turn out to be scams or relentless harassment. Many victims report hearing names like HQ Brokers or spoofed brands such as Microsoft and even bogus university contacts. If you receive a call you didn't expect, let the caller speak first, then verify the number independently before sharing any personal data. Hang up if the conversation feels aggressive, pushy, or asks for payment. Register your number on the national do‑not‑call list, use call‑blocking apps, and report persistent offenders to the consumer protection authority. Stay vigilant and protect your privacy.

Fraudulent, overly aggressive advertising.
They present themselves as an online trading firm, with a caller from abroad unable to explain how they obtained my number. They say they represent HQBrokers, which online reviews label as a scam.
Avoid answering these calls; they're hoaxes by fraudsters.
