How to recognise it
- It calls for one person to book a table or appointment, or to sort out a customer-service question.
- Meta has not published the wording it uses, or the numbers it calls from.
- Reporting in September 2026 found that some Muse calls were made by human contractors, not by the AI. A human voice does not rule out Muse.
Is it legit?
The feature exists: Meta expanded the beta for calls to US businesses on 16 September 2026. Meta says calling will roll out "with the proper disclosures", but we could not find what those are. Outside the US we do not know of Muse calls yet.
How to stop it or set your terms
- Meta has not published a way for businesses to opt out (checked 28 October 2026).
- You may still decline on the call: "We do not take bookings from automated calls."
- Set your terms in the registry below so agents that check it know your rules.
What to say to the caller
- "Are you a person or an AI, and who are you calling for?"
- "Please give me the customer’s name and a number to confirm."
- "We only take bookings online, please book there."
Red flags: probably a scam
- It asks you to pay or log in to keep a Facebook or Instagram page.
- It cannot name the customer or give a way to reach them.
- It asks for money, a card number, a password or a code sent to your phone.
- It threatens that your listing will disappear or be marked closed unless you act now.
- It cannot tell you who the customer is or how to reach them.
- It pushes you to press a key, install something or open a link from a text message.
