Ofcom’s Action Against Scam Calls and Texts<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ofcom, the UK\u2019s communications regulator, is stepping up efforts to protect consumers. One of their key initiatives is the updated Calling Line Identification (CLI) guidance, aimed at addressing the growing problem of spoofed UK numbers used for scam calls. The new guidelines, set to be enforced in January 2025, extend the blocking of international calls that display UK numbers as Presentation Numbers; unless they fall within limited legitimate use cases.
