I have had people phone me where I don't recognise the number so I go on my banking app and block the number I did it a few weeks ago and I had an unusual number the other day and didn't answer it
At all.
I would suggest don't answer numbers you don't know that is what I do.

Good advice. Also, there are websites where people report scam numbers. If I get an unusual number phone me, I always put the number into Google and search it. Almost 100% of the time it comes up as having been reported by multiple users as a scam.

Hi @Sparklebright628that's great advice. I usually do the same as @66Mustang and search the number online afterwards which can help me decide whether or not to answer it next time they call.Community Manager

Hi to all,
Yes I have put the number into Google before to see who it is from
Most of the time it's a scam.
