For reasons unknown, robocallers love the Peach State and its largest city. Atlanta is among the top cities in which its residents receive robocalls and scam calls.
If you want to get rid of those pesky “Scam Likely” calls, keep reading. Do you recognize scam calls when you get them. Let’s investigate:
What Is A Scam Call?
A scam call is one that has clearly illegal or fraudulent behavior, such as a call from an enterprise imposter, or one that has a spoofed caller ID.
The phone companies’ initiative, Stir/Shaken, continues to reduce the number of robocall campaigns based on spoofed IDs, which drives down the number of obvious scam calls by making them harder to detect, since they appear to be telemarketing campaigns unless there is other evidence of fraud.
How To Get Rid Of Scam Likely Calls In Atlanta
To get rid of scam likely calls in Atlanta, you need to use your cell phone provider’s services. For T-Mobile, you can download the Scam Shield app, to screen scam likely calls.
For an AT&T device, you can use AT&T Call Protect offers similar protection for any device using this carrier.
For wireless customers, Verizon’s Call Filter can help you avoid unwanted calls. Call Filter blocks potentially fraudulent calls by automatically sending them to voicemail, but you can also block unwanted or nuisance calls with the free Call Filter app or through MyVerizon.
The top cities, area codes, and states with the most robocalls and robocalls/person remained unchanged from January.
