Expert Opinion

Caution: repeated calls from +442038686843 usually signal a subscription‑renewal scam targeting former readers of The Economist. Callers often claim a lapsed subscription and push for immediate payment, sometimes using automated prompts that even repeat your name. Never share card details or personal data over the phone unless you have independently verified the caller’s identity. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to your carrier or a consumer‑protection agency. If you need to confirm a legitimate renewal, contact the publisher directly through official channels. Keep a log of call times and any text messages for future reference.
