Why this matters
Beyond the nuisance, robocalls and scam callers use pressure and impersonation to commit fraud. Simple steps cut the volume dramatically.
Step by step
- Register your number with the relevant national do-not-call service.
- Enable your phone’s built-in spam filtering and silencing of unknown callers.
- Use a reputable call-blocking app for extra protection.
- Never press buttons or engage with automated scam calls.
- Avoid sharing your number on public forms and websites.
BlackCloak tips
Do not call back unknown numbers, as this confirms your line is active to scammers. Treat any caller demanding urgent payment or personal details as a scam until proven otherwise.
