Watch out for mysterious hang‑up calls that claim to be from Canada but originate overseas. These drops are typical of a scam that verifies a name and then disconnects, hoping to harvest personal data or prime you for future fraud. Never share identifying details with unsolicited callers, and let the call go to voicemail before deciding to respond. Enable your phone’s built‑in call‑blocking feature or use a reputable third‑party app to filter numbers from the 649 area code, which is known for high‑risk traffic. Report persistent offenders to the FTC or your carrier’s fraud department, and regularly review your account statements for any unexpected activity.
