Edgar Hoover in his FBI heyday didn&#8217;t call private citizens threatening arrest or requesting money and today&#8217;s FBI will not do so either. Always be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls. Don&#8217;t feel threatened and don&#8217;t give in to pressure to provide ANY personal information or funds to callers that you don&#8217;t know. Trust your instincts: if an unknown caller makes you uncomfortable or says things that don&#8217;t sound right, hang up. These are viscous predators, so take the extra step and file a complaint through the FBI&#8217;s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.IC3.gov.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-84b9b9b1 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4e0b3d7f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our best advice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Let calls from unknown and unsolicited numbers go right to voicemail. You can decide later if it&#8217;s a real call that needs returning. Easily get more info on any number and decide whether to call them back or block them forever.
