This is what you are doing wrong when scammers call

Cold calls are often a waste of your time and an unwanted interruption to your day.

The line between spam and scam calls is often thin and blurred.

When faced with a suspicious call, the solution is simply to hang up as soon as something seems off.

If it's a scammer, they won't be hurt or offended: rejection and hang-ups come with the territory.

Use a spam blocking app for texts and calls to identify and block known spam numbers.

Set a password for your voicemail account to prevent scammers from accessing voicemail.

Don't respond to questions, especially those that can be answered with "Yes": Scammers may record your "Yes" response and use it to authorize fraudulent charges.
