What should I do if I receive a suspicious phone call or voicemail requesting personal information?

  • Do Not Respond: Do not provide personal information to anyone who calls, emails, or texts you requesting it, even if they seem legitimate.
  • Hang Up: Immediately hang up if you think the call may not be legitimate. Do not engage with the caller.
  • Confirm Identity: Contact the relevant organization yourself to confirm the caller’s identity and further instructions. Do not use any contact number they provide.
  • Research: Check sources such as websites or news stories to ensure the identity of the caller and the request is valid.
  • Report: Contact your local authorities if you believe you have been a victim of fraud.
