What is a Lead-Generation / Survey Spam?
Lead-generation and survey spam calls are designed to collect your personal information under the guise of conducting a survey or offering a prize. These calls often ask seemingly harmless questions but use your responses to build marketing profiles or sell your information to third parties.
Warning Signs
- •Caller claims you've won a prize or are eligible for a special offer
- •Asks for personal information like name, address, or email
- •Requests you answer a "quick survey"
- •Offers to verify your information
- •Asks you to press a number to continue
- •Vague about who they represent or what company they work for
How to Protect Yourself
- ✓Never provide personal information during unsolicited calls
- ✓Be suspicious of "free" offers that require your information
- ✓Use Ghost App to create a temporary number for online forms and signups, protecting your real number from data harvesting
- ✓Hang up immediately if the caller becomes pushy
- ✓Verify any legitimate surveys through official company websites
- ✓Report suspicious survey calls to the FTC
