Ever wonder why the same number keeps popping up on your screen? It’s a classic case of robocall spam, usually a telemarketing script pushing credit cards, debt relief or bogus services. These calls often spoof legitimate‑sounding names like “Consumer Advocate” to trick you into answering. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number and report it to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑filter service. Avoid pressing any prompts, especially those asking for personal or payment info. If you’re on a Do‑Not‑Call list, keep a record of repeated calls and consider filing a complaint for enforcement.
