Why Are Businesses Being Flagged Incorrectly?
Call blocking apps are being crowdsourced for their data. Carriers combat scams and spam callers with this data. This practice has become necessary to protect consumers, however, the dilemma with crowdsourcing app data is the accuracy. Users who are having a bad day may simply flag any phone number, while collections departments are notoriously flagged because bills are stressful. This lack of accuracy, when used for blocking phone calls, has lead to legitimate businesses being marked as scam likely. Even when following regulatory compliance standards, all businesses from hospitals to hotels have seen negative impacts from crowdsourced call blocking app data.
Your Reputation is at Risk
When your phone number is marked “Scam Likely”, even if your calls are not being blocked, your reputation is still at risk. Explaining to customers, friends, or family that you are not a scammer or spammer would be embarrassing. That is why it is important to take the necessary precautions and monitor your phone numbers.
Monitoring your phone number reputation is not the only way to reduce the risk of being flagged as ‘scam likely’.
