Expert Opinion

The pattern suggests a classic verification scam – callers pretend to need a quick check, often claiming a lost phone or a contact update, then disappear or use the brief interaction to harvest personal data. If you answer, keep your guard up: never share PINs, passwords or confirm identity details. Hang up if the conversation feels rushed or vague, and block the number. Report persistent calls to your provider and consider a call‑blocking app. Remember, legitimate organisations will never ask for sensitive info over a sudden, unsolicited call.

Not sure about the caller. They spoke rapidly once I answered, then the line cut off mid-sentence, so unclear what it was regarding. Might just be probing if the number is live.
