Be Cautious- Just Hang Up

“Just hang up!”
Scam artists are trained to keep you on the telephone. The longer you stay on the telephone the more likely they are to illicit information. ANY information, even things you believe to be non-relevant, can be used by the scammers now or for future scam attempts. Protect yourself and just hang up!
