Ever get a call from an unfamiliar number and wonder if it's legit? Most robocall scams use fake names and spoofed IDs to appear local, then pressure you to answer before you can hang up. Keep your privacy intact by ignoring unknown callers and letting them go to voicemail. Enable your carrier’s call‑blocking service or a reputable third‑party app to filter out spoofed numbers. If a message does appear, verify the source through official channels before sharing any personal info. Regularly review your phone’s call‑log settings and report persistent scammers to the FTC to help curb phishing attacks.
An unknown call was made to a cell phone, displaying a potentially fake name and number, 'Bontrager Nelso,' in an attempt to appear local and trick the recipient into answering, characteristic of phishing scams.
