Unwanted calls: Just block ’em and report ’em
|
|
|
|
|
Unwanted calls are annoying. They can feel like a constant interruption — and many are from scammers. Unfortunately, technology makes it easy for scammers to make millions of calls a day, but no matter what type of unwanted call you get (and everyone is getting them) your best defense is a good offense.
Here are three universal truths to live by: - Don’t trust your caller ID
- Hang up on robocalls
- Use call blocking
For more information and to learn to block calls on your cell phone and home home visit FTC.gov/calls.
