A caller appeared as anonymous but identified itself as Windstream’s service department. When a number hides its identity yet claims to be from a known provider, it’s wise to verify the source before sharing any personal details. Check the official website or customer portal for recent outreach, and consider calling back using a known company number. If the call seems suspicious, block the line and report it to the carrier’s fraud department. Regularly update your privacy settings on mobile devices and avoid accepting unknown calls that request account numbers or payment info. Staying cautious protects both your data and peace of mind.
Although the call was marked as anonymous, it was actually from Windstream's service department. I reported this incident to the company, as I normally wouldn't accept calls from unknown or private numbers.
