Good I have been plagued with the British number invasion for the last while
I just want the owners address
It’s very difficult to achieve this as precision of the algorithms needs to be very very high to not effect legitimate traffic. Attackers will adapt, it’s a cat and mouse gameÂ
Phone hopped out of it, I get them once a week but the past few days it’s been nonstop!
ComReg couldn’t crack an egg. Never mind cracking down on Chinese scam gangs operating out of Myanmar, targeting Ireland using UK numbers.
I believe a recruiter wants to talk to me a lot from different numbers and wants me to add their number to WhatsApp.
Wish we could toggle the ability to block calls from international numbers. If I’m getting a call from someone I know abroad it’s gonna be via Whatsapp usually anyway.
Instead of needing an ID to watch porn maybe make it you need to verify your identity to make calls.
That way people can have the option to block un verified callers
What are you guys getting? Calls or texts? I work in this area so would be good to know. They operate kinda differently on how they are blocked
I recieve 10-15 of these calls A DAY! For anyone plagued by this shite and doesn’t have to worry about missing calls from the UK, install an app called Hiya and block all +44 and whatever other extensions you want. Has done great for my sanity, maybe only 3 calls a week get through now. You can still see all the calls you would have recieved, they just don’t actually go through.
Just ignore them
Every day multiple times for months now 😞🤮
ComReg is going to “crack down on them”……
I’d feel safer with a chicken drumstick…….
Pissing against the wind.
My phone actually seems to do a good job of blocking them, I used to get quite a lot.
Not sure if it’s my phone or my provider but I offered see them pop as a missed call saying it was blocked as suspected spam.
My Bitdefender anti virus app blocks them but my partner is getting three or four a day at the moment.
Indeed I have
Yes, a lot in the past week.
Ahh setting themselves up for failure I see. It’s wackamole at best. They be better saying nothing as when nothing inevitably happens people no longer trust themÂ
These calls are causing me quite a bit of stress. Only people who ring me are family. With everyone else I communicate via WhatsApp or email and I get anxiety from my phone ringing
Let’s deploy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR%2FSHAKEN (i.e. strong authentication for caller ID), then start raising settlement fees sharply for calls that lack valid, strongly authenticated caller ID.
the call screening function on my phone is the best thing ever.

I’ll believe it when I see it.
Wow, r/Ireland must have some influence. Only a few hours ago they made this [MegaThread](https://old.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1pkdmgc/influx_of_scam_calls/) and now ComReg is doing something.
