The Caller ID displayed 'TESTING', indicating that the call was likely bogus
Imagine getting a call from a number that flashes “TESTING” on your caller ID. That’s a classic red flag for a scam attempt, so treat it like an unsolicited sales pitch that never asked for your time. Hang up immediately and avoid sharing any personal details. Add the number to your phone’s block list or use a third‑party call blocking app to stop future attempts. Report the incident to the FTC’s complaint portal and, if you suspect identity theft, file a report with the FTC and your credit bureaus. Keep a log of suspicious calls and share it with friends so they can stay vigilant.
