Imagine getting a call where the stranger probes for your child's details and refuses to explain why. That's a classic red flag for a potential fraud attempt. The caller's vague script and focus on personal data suggest they’re fishing for information to sell or misuse. Never hand over a child's address, school name, or phone number to an unknown number. Hang up, block the number, and report it to your telecom provider or consumer protection agency. Keep a log of the call time and any recorded details – it helps authorities spot patterns and protect others from the same scheme.
