Picture your phone flashing a name you don’t recognize, like Robert Bernstein, and the line drops after a single ring. That pattern matches a classic scam where callers claim you qualify for free back‑brace or medical equipment. 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 fraud department. Never share personal or payment info with unsolicited callers, and verify any offers directly with the supposed company using official contact details. Consider a call‑blocking app and regularly review your blocked list to keep rogue numbers at bay.

While your statement is accurate, simply not answering calls or using an answering service can still verify that a phone line is active. Even call blockers cannot prevent this verification, they only prevent disturbance. Many people find this sufficient, albeit at a cost.

Today's call was unusual because I typically don't answer unknown numbers.
