Reporting scam phone numbers is the act of identifying and reporting telephone numbers used for fraudulent or malicious purposes, such as phishing, robocalls, or telemarketing scams.
Scam phone numbers are a significant problem, costing individuals and businesses billions of dollars each year. Reporting these numbers helps authorities track and shut down scam operations, protect consumers from financial loss, and deter future scams. A key development in the fight against scam phone numbers was the creation of the Do Not Call Registry, which gives consumers the ability to opt out of receiving unwanted telemarketing calls.
