In a very short time, they will block those numbers considered fraudulent and that may pose a risk

The operators Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange have given us great news. In a very short time, they will have to protect their customers from fraudulent calls.

After years of complaints and concerns, the Government has finally taken action. It signed an order requiring operators to take effective measures against phone scams. This regulation, which will be implemented in the coming weeks, promises to change the way we receive calls and messages.

Fraudulent calls, which are often linked to scam attempts, have increased alarmingly. In recent years, the volume of these scams has grown by 500%. This has been a problem not only for users but also for operators like Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange.

They are often inadvertently involved. Scammers sometimes impersonate these companies to steal sensitive personal information from their victims.

Now, thanks to this new legislation, operators will be required to block calls from fraudulent numbers at the source. This means that, for the first time, numbers identified as dangerous will be blocked before they can reach their destination. This way, users of Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange will no longer have to worry about receiving such calls, which often cause confusion.

Movistar, Orange, and Vodafone Will Have to Put a Stop to It

The problem of fraudulent calls is not only an annoyance for users but also affects telephone operators. Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange have been the subject of numerous scams where fraudsters impersonate them. This not only harms customers but also damages the image of the operators themselves.

In addition to blocking fraudulent calls, the new law will also require measures to prevent other types of fraud. For example, companies will be prohibited from using mobile numbers for their communications. Instead, operators must ensure that fixed lines or correctly identifiable numbers are used, reports Adsl Zone.

Measures will also be taken against SMS messages that don't use a number as an identification system. Instead, some messages use tags, making it more difficult to identify their origin. With this new regulation, fraudulent SMS messages will also be blocked to ensure that users don't fall for scams.

How Will It Affect Users?

With the implementation of this new regulation, customers of Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange will enjoy a safer and more peaceful experience. They will no longer have to worry about annoying and dangerous calls from scammers. Additionally, users can be more at ease knowing that their data is better protected.

This represents a victory not only for users but also for operators. They will be able to clean up their image and offer a more reliable service. With the implementation of this new measure, Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange will demonstrate that they are committed to the security and well-being of their customers.
