Watch out for unsolicited calls that sound like mix‑ups or scams. These rings often feature vague claims—wrong orders, alleged accidents, or looming repossessions—designed to provoke a reaction. Since the patterns point to prank‑style harassment, treat the caller as unverified and avoid sharing personal details. Let the call go to voicemail when possible, and block the number if it recurs. Report persistent harassment to your carrier and, if threats intensify, consider filing a complaint with the FTC. Maintaining a call log and screening settings can help you spot repeat offenders and reduce future interruptions.
