I used to think those 'scam likely' phone warnings were just my carrier being annoying...

My bank called about a weird charge and my phone flagged it as a scam, so I hung up. Turns out it was actually them, and I had to call back through their official number. The rep told me they've seen a huge rise in spoofed numbers that look real. Has anyone found a good way to tell a real call from a fake one when the number checks out?

My trust issues are now officially a problem.

Been there. Forced myself to give small bits of trust on low-stakes things first. It felt stupid but it built a track record. That proof over time is the only thing that actually helped.
