Block the number and let any future calls go straight to voicemail; this cuts off the persistent script that many victims report. When a call claims to be from Mercury Energy, SPCA or a charity, ask for a verifiable reference number and hang up if they can’t provide one. Use your carrier’s call‑blocking feature and consider a third‑party spam filter for added protection. Keep a log of call times and content – patterns often reveal a scripted scam rather than a legitimate outreach. Report repeated harassment to the appropriate consumer protection agency.

The purpose of the call was to solicit donations and support, but I didnt engage with them
