Telephone Number Fraud

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM A FRAUD

When you are being asked for personal or private information, be sure to ask if the request is for your phone number.

If you receive a call or text from someone asking for this type of information, it’s best to hang up before giving out any personal data—unless you know the person on the phone well and they have your permission to access that type of information.

If you have your phone number listed publically, do not give it out in response to a request that you read it aloud.

When asked to read your phone number aloud and given the impression that the information is being verified by a third party, such as your bank or credit card company, confirm with them ahead of time and ask if they will be asking for this type of information before you provide it.
