Beware of unsolicited calls claiming authority. Hang up immediately if someone implies they're from the police without clear identification—genuine officers rarely cold call. Verify any claims by contacting official sources directly, like your local police station via 101. Scammers often use spoofed numbers to impersonate authorities, aiming to extract personal details or money. Enable caller ID blocking on your phone and report suspicious calls to Action Fraud. Stay vigilant to protect against identity theft or fraud attempts.
