Expert Opinion

Proceed with caution when a call from +6498896245 greets you warmly but then claims to be looking for someone else. This pattern often signals a phishing or social engineering attempt, especially when the caller cannot verify your identity and becomes silent or evasive. Never share personal details, and hang up if the conversation feels off‑script. Consider blocking the number and reporting it to your telecom provider. Keep a log of call times and any recorded messages; this can help authorities track potential scams. If you suspect harassment, file a complaint with the relevant consumer protection agency.
