Malwarebytes launches Scam Number Check tool to fight phone fraud

The article introduces the "Scam Number Check" tool by Malwarebytes, designed to help users identify suspicious phone calls. Scammers caused over $21 billion in losses in the U.S. last year, highlighting the danger of such calls. The tool allows users to check a phone number for potential scams in seconds. Users can input a number, which will receive one of three verdicts: "Do not trust this number," "This number seems safe," or "We don’t have enough info."

The resource aims to protect individuals from scams by providing a quick and easy verification option, encouraging users to avoid sharing personal information or sending money.
