If you are tired of spam calls, blocking numbers is no longer enough: this recommendation can help you report them

The article discusses the growing problem of unsolicited phone calls, known as 'spam calls,' which cause significant annoyance and stress for many people. These calls often come at inconvenient times and can sometimes be used by cybercriminals to obtain sensitive information such as personal or financial data. While some users choose to ignore or block these calls, experts warn that this approach might not always be effective, as it could signal to scammers that the user is available. The article recommends recording suspicious calls and filing a formal complaint, particularly highlighting Spain’s Data Protection Agency (AEPD), which allows individuals to report such incidents through a form and provides evidence like recorded conversations. It also notes that modern smartphones offer features that make it easier to record calls or screen recordings during a conversation.
