Expert Opinion

Late last night, a call flashing as “Security Screen” or a familiar brand like BT rang your line. Most of these rings turn out to be automated scams that claim illegal internet activity or a threatened service shutdown. The safest move is to hang up immediately, never confirm account details, and avoid pressing any keypad prompts. Add the number to a call blocker or your phone’s built‑in blacklist, and let your actual provider know about the suspicious call. Keep a record of the caller ID and time, then report the incident to the national Do‑Not‑Call registry or consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical and protecting personal data will curb future attempts.
