A study of scam calls covering a 24-month period reveals that AT&T barely beats out T-Mobile as the carrier of choice by scammers.
was the last mobile carrier on the list with its network used on 7.61% of the scams that BeenVerified studied. The study consisted of 157,703 call complaints logged on a free reverse phone lookup tool owned and operated by BeenVerified from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2023.
One that this writer gets all the time is the ole delivery scam. This involves the receipt of an email that looks as though it came from FedEx, UPS, DHL, or other delivery services. The email says that you missed a delivery and tries to get you to tap on a link and reveal personal data. This is successful because everyone wants to receive a package! This was the top scam during the peak of the pandemic.
Check incoming phone numbers using a reverse phone tool to see if the particular number has been the subject of past complaints. If you get a call about a bank account or another account that is about to be shut down, call the company directly using a phone number obtained from a legit source.
