      There are some systems in place here in Ireland too that seem to have reduced the volumes. We seem to now be getting mostly calls spoofing +44 or +31 and +33 numbers. The spoofed Irish numbers are not getting through as much.

      The way this used to work is that illegal telemarketing operations routed their phone calls through foreign services. Since there was no verification of caller number for incoming foreign calls, they could spoof calling from an Italian number, which people were much more likely to pick up. With the numbers being spoof, it was useless to block them, and it was much harder for authorities to invesrtigate abusive practices.

      Now Italian phone network operations have implemented a verification that automatically refuses to route incoming calls from abroad that present with a spoofed Italian number. You can still run an illegal telemarketing operation, but now you’re forced to either use foreign numbers (which people tend to ignore), or use legitimate Italian numbers, which people can block and authorities can quickly connect to a person or business.

      Finland has started to to that some time ago. It massively reduced the calls and then even the attempts because they started to notice it wasn’t working. All countries should block these calls.

      Since today, I started receving calls from foreign numbers instead of spoofed local mobile numbers. Got 3 so far today.

      How is this not a no-brainer? What reason could there be *not* to block those?

      Nice. Even if it doesn’t stop it, it should help.
      I’ve even gotten calls from people saying I called them, I didn’t, it was probably a scam call randomizing a spoof number and my number was drawn.
      Quite awkward calls
