Scam/Fraud
29 Aug 2025
Not answered, no message left, so blocked. Line operator claims -"specializes in "innovation-driven telephony" and offers a feature-rich platform and API-first approach for services like routing, hosted voice, and fraud protection" but evidently still hosts fraudulent callers!!
