Six of the biggest phone companies have said they will work together and upgrade their systems to stop fraudsters being able to “spoof” UK phone numbers and commit fraud. New technology is expected to be rolled out over the next year that will stop criminals impersonating legitimate bodies and subsequently duping people into believing they are talking to real companies, banks and government departments. Under the new plans, which aim to tackle number spoofing by foreign call centres, it will become clear when calls are coming from abroad. The Guardian
