Six of the biggest phone companies have said they will work together and upgrade their systems to stop bogus “Spoof” phone numbers in the UK and fraud.

Under the new agreement, the six companies said they would improve the “security, reliability, and reliability of calls” within 12 months. Companies are committed to working with Ofcom to establish a call tracking process, which will identify where a call is coming from.
Research from the Home Office says that three-quarters of people are unlikely to get a phone call from an unknown foreign number. Changes in network technology mean foreign call centers will not be able to fix UK numbers, it has been said.
Home office minister David Hanson said: “With a major upgrade to our mobile network, calling will be eliminated within a year – stopping scammers from using people’s hard-earned money.”
Fraud has become one of the most common ways to deceive people. In such cases, people who answer their phone often see the same number on their handset as the one used by their bank, with some schooled in believing that they are talking to the lender’s department that they are talking to the lender’s department.
Murray Mackenzie, director of fraud prevention at Virgin Media O2, said it was hit with 50m scam calls every month. “There is no industry that cannot completely prevent fraud but by working across sectors we can prevent scams, destroy organized gangs and help people protect themselves,” he added.
