Unexpected calls from unfamiliar international numbers warrant immediate caution, especially late in the evening like this one at 6:18 pm. Without any context or prior relationship, it's wise to avoid answering or engaging. Block the number right away on your phone to prevent repeats, and resist any urge to call back—scammers often use this to confirm active lines. Report it to your carrier or apps like Truecaller for community alerts. If voicemail was left, listen without responding, but delete if suspicious. Stay vigilant; many such calls originate from overseas to dodge local tracing. For peace of mind, enable spam filters on your device.
