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.

- •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
