Yes, even the email address can be deceptive. I just received an alert email from "Experian". For grins I looked at the sender address which was experian.com but with a s.usa. in front. Of course my actual Experian account has no alerts and is frozen. By the way Experian makes it a bit more difficult to get to your frozen status. You have to wade through a lot of solicitation for their paid lock service (vs freeze). Lock permits instantaneous unlock via their app, while unfreeze may take an hour.
And FYI, like others, I don't answer calls if not in my address book. My number is an out of area number which greatly helps screening as I get at least 2 to 3 spam calls daily from that area. Rant time -The one PITA I have is sometimes calls from TVHS come via strange out of area numbers, but they always leave a message. Then trying to get back with them is very difficult. Best to use the TVHS portal to communicate with them.
