Imposter calls become the top threat as robocalls decline: How to protect your phone number and stop spam

We’ve seen carriers and the FTC work to reduce the problem of robocalls in recent years but imposter calls remain a top scam. Want to protect yourself and your family? Incogni makes removing your personal information from the web and blocking spam calls easy.

Unfortunately, your personal information being leaked and abused by bad actors has become a part of modern life, but that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way.

While there are various ways to reduce your risk, most approaches aren’t complete, take lots of time, and are reactive, not proactive. For example, identity protection services only tell you about a data leak after they happen. Or the native “Block this Caller” smartphone features that can’t match the flood of different numbers used to make scam calls.

Incogni takes a different and much more effective approach by removing your phone number and other personal information from the web, data brokers, and people search sites, preventing spam, scams, and more at the root of the problem.

How to stop spam calls with Incogni

  1. Create your Incogni account
  2. Grant Incogni the right to restore your privacy
  3. Relax and let Incogni save you hundreds of hours of work

Because opting out of data broker systems is made difficult by design, Incogni saves the average person over 300 hours of manual work with its automated system to restore your privacy, stop spam calls, and protect against identify theft.

What makes Incogni unique?

Going beyond competitors, Incogni removes your data from all types of data brokers including risk mitigation, recruitment, people search sites, financial firms, marketing firms, and more.
