Staying Safe from Phone Scams: 4 Clues to Watch For
Scammers are getting clever, but you can stay in control by knowing their tricks. Here are four clues that a phone call might be a scam, based on advice from security experts.
Clue #1: The Number is Unknown.
The single best defense is to not answer calls from numbers you don't recognize. If the call is important, the person will leave a voicemail. Save all your family, friends, and doctors as contacts so you know when a call is legitimate.
Clue #2: The "One Ring" Trick.
Scammers will sometimes call and hang up after just one ring. They do this for two reasons: to see if your phone number is active, or to make you curious enough to call them back. Never call back a number you don't know. It's safer to just block the number.
Clue #3: The Number Looks Local (But Isn't).
A common trick called "spoofing" allows scammers to disguise their real number and make it look like it's coming from your local area code. They do this because they know you're more likely to answer a familiar-looking number. Be suspicious even of local numbers if you don't recognize them.
Clue #4: They Create Panic or Urgency.
Scammers will often try to make you feel panicked so you act without thinking. They might say your bank account is in trouble or that you need to act immediately. Real banks will not pressure you like this.
The Golden Rule: If You Do Answer, Say Nothing.
Sometimes you might answer an unknown call by mistake. If you do, the best tactic is to say nothing at all. Wait to see what the person on the other end says. Often, it's a robocall that will hang up if it doesn't hear a voice. This also prevents them from recording your voice (especially you saying "yes"), which can be used in other scams.
