Phone Scams

Fight Against Phone Scams

Norway:

Norway is dialing up global action on phone scams. In a bold new move, the country is spearheading an international effort to slash the number of fraudulent calls and SMS messages hitting consumers’ phones.

“Phone scams are a serious problem that can have a devastating impact on individuals and businesses,” said John-Eivind Velure, acting director of the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom). “By working together, we can share information and develop new strategies to stop these scams before they reach our citizens.”
