If your line’s lighting up with +12089179197, you’re probably staring at a classic robo‑dial scam. Callers toss around police or charity guises, drop a vague voicemail, then disappear—typical of spoofed law‑enforcement and charity fraud. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, block the number, and report it to the FTC or your carrier’s fraud team. Never hand over personal data or payment info, even if they claim it’s a customs hold. A quick search of the number can also reveal if it’s on a known scam list. Staying skeptical keeps you out of the hook.
