You know those mystery calls from random numbers that we all get? How often do you find yourself dealing with those annoying scam calls? Daily? Every other day?
The problem is that scammers have really upped their game over the years, making it hard to spot the real calls from the fakes.
Scammers have become so advanced and they deploy all sorts of tricks to reel us in. Scammers can even change the info that shows up on our phones when they call, making it appear as if they are calling from a legitimate phone number. When this happens, it is called "spoofing," and it is how a lot of people end up falling for their scams. But thankfully, many phone providers now label suspected scam calls with a "Scam Likely" tag to give us a heads-up.
Spotting a scam call can be tough, but there are ways to protect yourself. By keeping an eye out for shady area codes and knowing some of the commonly used scam numbers, you can avoid becoming their next target.
