There is no absolute danger in receiving a call from Hong Kong, but you should be vigilant and cautious about any phone call, especially if you do not know the caller or if they claim to be from a bank or other institution. Heres what you can do:
1、Be vigilant: If you receive a call from an unknown number or a caller claims to be from a bank or other institution, do not provide any personal information such as your name, address, bank account details or passwords.
2、Verify the caller’s identity: Ask the caller to verify their identity and the purpose of the call. If you are still unsure, you can hang up and call the institution back using a number from their official website or in-person to confirm the caller’s information.
3、Block the number: If you feel that the call is suspicious or you have received several calls from the same number, you can block that number to avoid further contact.
4、Report suspicious calls: If you believe that the call is a scam or involves fraud, you can report it to local authorities or relevant institutions to help them investigate and prevent further incidents.
In English, you can say: "I am cautious about receiving calls from unknown numbers or claiming to be from institutions. If I am unsure about the caller’s identity or purpose of the call, I will not provide any personal information and will verify their identity through other channels." If you are still worried, you can also seek help from friends or family for advice and support.
