Expert Opinion

They claimed to be a will‑writing service and even knew my name. The call repeatedly offered legal assistance for a will without any prior request, and most attempts ended in a quick hang‑up or were flagged by spam‑detect tools. Such patterns are typical of harassing or spam calls that aim to harvest personal details before a sales pitch. If you receive a similar call, let it go to voicemail, block the number and report it to your carrier or the Information Commissioner’s Office. Do not reveal any personal information, and consider adding the number to a reputable stop‑call registry. Regularly reviewing your call‑blocking settings can reduce future disturbances.
