Watch for red flags when a caller claims to be from Cox and pushes an upgrade. Many reports describe the caller knowing personal details like your first name and current plan, yet the conversation feels scripted and vague. These are classic social engineering tactics used to harvest data or sell unwanted services. If the call is silent or the script stalls, hang up and verify the request directly through your official Cox account portal. Never share passwords or payment info over an unsolicited call. Keep a log of suspicious numbers and report them to your carrier’s fraud department for caller ID analysis and possible account protection.
