Incogni is at the forefront of preventing dangerous imposter calls

As the internet continues to expand its reach, more users are becoming susceptible to data leaks and sold information online. To prevent that, companies like Incogni do an expert job of removing that data from the public, protecting you from scam calls and malicious organizations.

The common occurrence a few years ago was receiving phone calls from an unknown number with the caller simply being a recording. Those calls had the potential of being effective, but they lacked a personal touch.

Over the last few years, an interesting trend has developed in regard to what sort of scam calls hit users. Organizations are starting to utilize “imposter calls,” or calls that are initiated by a real person who claims to be from a trusted organization – it’s absolutely infuriating to be on the other end of.

While blocking a number is generally a recommended action for these types of calls, it can’t account for the constantly changing phone numbers these groups use. This results in a little bit of confusion and a whole lot of successful scams across the US. Even if users request their information be removed from call databases, there’s no guarantee a number won’t be shared through a data broker within a short period of time, leaving you at the end of another scam call soon after requesting to be part of the DNC list.

Stay off the call list for good

Incogni has developed a strong process of removing user numbers from the hands of these malicious organizations, ensuring that they won’t be able to help you with whatever trick they have up their sleeves. It has the tools to keep your information from being sold to scammers and the like, which keeps you off the calling list. That means your information is safe from data brokers and people search sites.

Incogni runs as an automated service, which also means it’s very easy to set up and use, sending out automatic waves of opt-out requests for you in order to keep your personal number off of the web, which can be an incredibly tedious task to take on alone for each company that sells your data, of which there are a lot.
