Never pick up unknown numbers; just last week my elderly neighbour answered a call she thought was her doctor, only to be scammed.

What happens when an unknown number rings and you pick up? This comment highlights a classic risk: mistaking a scam call for a legitimate one, as with the elderly neighbour expecting her doctor's call. Such incidents underscore the dangers of unsolicited calls, especially for vulnerable folks. Screen unknown numbers by letting them go to voicemail—legit callers leave messages. Use apps to block or identify callers, and report suspicious ones to Action Fraud. If scammed, contact your bank pronto to freeze accounts. Educate family on these tricks; it's often how scammers target the elderly. Stay cautious to protect personal data.
