Recent reports highlight the rise of international scam calls, particularly a new scheme known as 'Wangiri,' which targets individuals by using unknown international numbers. Authorities and tech experts are urging the public to remain vigilant against these scams, which often involve caller ID spoofing and impersonation of legitimate organizations. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has provided guidance on how to identify and avoid phishing scams, emphasizing the need for caution when receiving calls or messages that appear to be from trusted sources. The FTC's advice includes being wary of unexpected communications regarding deliveries or account issues, as these can be tactics used by scammers to gain personal information.
