Rip-off calls: Most spam calls come from the UK. To avoid falling victim to scammers, you should block these numbers.
Telephone fraudsters use increasingly sophisticated tricks to obtain sensitive data or money. Most of these scam calls are currently coming from the UK, according to the company Clever Dialer.
With its app (“cleverdialer.app”), Clever Dialer supports users in detecting and defending against unwanted and fraudulent calls. Every month, the company t-online reveals the five most common spam numbers that cause problems for its customers.
In the past month, constant telephone harassment has been a constant test of consumers’ nerves, it is said. In addition, an increase in reported fake calls (plus 11.7 percent) and reported blocks (plus 15.9 percent) was registered.
This shows that “those affected are increasingly sensitized,” writes Clever Dialer.
