Screen unknown numbers before picking up to dodge potential nuisances. These reports highlight a pattern of unsolicited calls, often linked to scams pretending to be official like traffic advisors, or simply silent hang-ups that waste your time. Block the number straight away if it rings repeatedly, and report it to your phone provider or Action Fraud for wider alerts. Keep personal details tight—scammers fish for info on accidents or recent ads to hook you. If in doubt, hang up and verify independently; no legit caller pressures you over the phone. Staying vigilant cuts down on stress from these pests.
