NCSO Safety Tip of the Week Telephone Safety • Never give personal information to phone solicitors. • If you receive frequent wrong number calls, hang up calls, late night calls from strangers, or other nuisance calls, report them to a security representative with your phone company. If a telephone call is obscene, hang up the telephone. If a telephone call is threatening, contact law enforcement immediately. Never allow yourself to be drawn into a conversation with an unknown caller in which you reveal your name, address, marital status or anything to indicate you are alone. Dont let the caller know you are angry or upset. This is the reaction they want, and will often encourage them. Dont play investigator and extend the call attempting to find out who is calling. This may be the reaction the caller wants or needs. Dont try to be a counselor. The annoying or malicious caller probably needs professional help, but he/she may be encouraged by your concern, and will continue to call.
