If a single number is making, for example, more than 10 calls a minute, more than 100 calls a day, or over a certain amount for the week, it can be determined that this activity is not originating from a human dialing. Most carriers have built in thresholds that monitor call activity. Either by the consumer manually blocking your number through a call blocking app, or by the carriers if you are making too many outbound calls.
Your outbound phone number can receive flags in one of two ways. Until carriers or the FCC implement a system, the best solution to this problem is to ensure your business is dialing correctly in order to avoid getting flagged. If your phone number is showing as scam likely, there is no process to get your caller ID cleaned up. This information relays the flags from other recipient's interactions with the number. When a caller ID shows this information to a recipient, they can decide whether to answer.
This technology allows call recipients to flag numbers as "spam risk" or "scam likely". In an effort to combat spam and scam calls, many carriers have adopted new technology. With over 80% of the American population owning smartphones – and 96% owning some type of cellphone – it's important that your calls reach your customers. Especially if you're calling mobile numbers. If you use any type of dialer, your number could be incorrectly marked as "scam likely". Well, these new caller ID tools aren't without flaws, in a sense. Additionally, the Senate is introducing bills that could curb the use of robocalling to help stop scammers from defrauding consumers. Many of the nation's top cell providers and even third-party app developers are creating "scam likely" caller ID tools that identify these calls and can even block them. Since the growth in popularity of mobile phones, the number of scam calls to cellphones has grown, as well.
But the number of fraudulent robocalls is still significant. Non-fraudulent calls range from emergency alert systems, such as local schools notifying parents of school closures, to telemarketing messages the person being called signed up for. Now, not all of these robocalls are fraudulent.
