If you get a call from an unknown number, don’t answer. Scammers often spoof phone numbers to trick you into picking up.
Never share sensitive details like your bank account number, PIN, or passwords over the phone. Legitimate companies will never ask for this information over a call.
Calls claiming you’ve won a prize or money often require you to “claim” it by providing payment details. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Phishing calls try to trick you into giving away personal data, like credit card information. Look out for callers pretending to be from well-known companies asking for your details.

Caller ID can be easily spoofed. Just because a number looks familiar, doesn't mean it’s legit. Always stay cautious.
Install call-blocking apps that automatically detect and block scam calls, reducing the risk of falling for fraudulent offers.
If something feels off during a call, hang up immediately. Report any suspicious calls to your phone service provider or relevant authorities.
Never click on links in unsolicited text messages. They may lead to fake websites designed to steal your information.
