(Undated) – “Robocalls” are back in big numbers after a decline during the pandemic. Scammers often use this method to try and get your personal information, money, or both. Better Business Bureau Investigator, Don O’Brien, says while some, like those from your doctor’s or your kid’s school are legal and legit, if you haven’t given a company permission to call you, then these marketing calls are likely illegal. O’Brien says the best way to avoid the pitfalls presented by these scammers is to just hang up the phone.
