Strengthen Your Defense Against Spam Calls

*Stay Informed

Keep yourself up to date about new types of scams and phishing techniques. Awareness is your first line of defense.

*Don’t Share Personal Information

Avoid giving out personal or financial information over the phone, especially if you didn’t initiate the call.

*Use Call Blocking Apps

Utilize call blocking apps and features provided by your phone carrier to automatically filter out known spam numbers.

*Be Wary of Caller ID Spoofing

Scammers often use techniques to display fake caller ID’s. Don’t solely rely on caller ID information to determine a call’s legitimacy.

*Report Violations

If you receive unwanted calls even after registering and opting out, report the violations to the FTC. This helps authorizations take action against violators.

*Screen Calls

If you receive a call from an unknown number, let it go to voicemail. Legitimate callers will leave a message.
