The Newport Beach Police Department has tips for dealing with a call from someone you don ’ t know :
• Stop . Check it out . For calls from alleged government agencies or utility companies : Do not give out any personal or financial information until you have verified the identity of the caller . Ask the caller for their name , department , business phone number and what they are requesting . Confirm that information by calling the organization directly at a phone number found on the internet or through official correspondence / billing statements . If the caller refuses to provide this information , terminate the call immediately .
• Keep your information safe . Never give out personal identifying information , such as your social security number , bank account or credit card account numbers , to anyone you do not know .
• Pass this information on to a friend . You may not have received one of these calls , but chances are that you know someone who will — if they haven ’ t already .
