The central government has begun to crack down on fake international calls. This will now provide relief to consumers from unwanted calls. The government said the indigenously developed system to identify and block international fake calls that appear as Indian mobile numbers has reduced such calls to about four lakh per day.

The government has asked Indian telecom companies to launch a campaign against foreign service providers who are colluding in fake international calls. Many Indian telecom firms, such as Airtel and BSNL, on their part, have blocked more than 20 of these service providers who were sending fake calls.

Recently, the Department of Telecommunications, along with all the Telecom Service Providers, introduced an indigenously developed International Incoming Spoofed Call Prevention System. It blocked 90% of all incoming international calls identified as fraudulent calls, approximately 1.35 crore in just 24 hours.
