Expert Opinion

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this caller masquerades as a trustworthy source but reveals predatory intent through probing questions. Reports consistently describe unsolicited calls where the caller knows personal details like names and inquires about home ownership under the guise of a 'government initiative'—classic hallmarks of a scam. No legitimate entity cold-calls without prior contact, especially not to fish for such info. Practical steps include never engaging: hang up immediately, block the number, and report to Action Fraud. Enable caller ID verification on your phone to filter unknowns, and avoid sharing details over unsolicited lines to safeguard privacy.

Even though I usually ignore unknown numbers, I answered. A foreign lady mentioned my name, claimed it wasn’t a sales call and talked about a government incentive. When she asked if I owned a home, I lied and said no. She then abruptly cut the call, without any thank‑you or goodbye, reminding me not to answer unfamiliar calls.
