Overview
- Reports of spam calls rose 23% in July versus June, according to Clever Dialer’s analysis.
- Clever Dialer published a July top‑10 of the most‑reported caller IDs, detailing ploys like fake consumer‑protection calls and prize‑draw subscription traps.
- Patterns include rotating end digits to evade blocks, repeated calls from Düsseldorf and Hamburg area codes, and cross‑border mobiles such as a Dutch number.
- Tellows’ database currently highlights further risks, including an Europol‑spoof robocall and an O2 impersonation using the “Ja‑Masche”.
- Users are advised to block suspicious numbers, avoid confirming personal data, and check caller IDs on Clever Dialer or Tellows before engaging or calling back.
