Fraud has caused consumers to become increasingly reluctant to answer calls from unknown or suspicious numbers, posing challenges for legitimate businesses trying to reach their customers. This issue has significantly impacted carriers and service providers, resulting in financial losses, increased operational costs, and damage to customer confidence. Moreover, fraud can lead to an erosion of trust, ultimately causing a loss of customers and negatively affecting the economic reputation of businesses involved.
