If the caller is reluctant to answer questions about their business or the offer, it's a red flag. Legitimate businesses will be happy to provide detailed information and answer any questions you have.

Be cautious if the caller requests that you "confirm your personal information" over the phone. Scammers may try to gather sensitive information like your social security number, bank account details, or credit card information.

One common warning sign of a phone scam is when the caller claims that you have been specially selected for some sort of offer or prize. This is often a tactic used to create a sense of urgency and get you to act quickly without thinking things through.

Another telltale sign of a scam is the use of high-pressure sales tactics and "limited-time" offers. Scammers will often try to rush you into making a decision, using phrases like "act now" or "this offer is only available today."
