High-risk numbers have a higher likelihood of endangering the health of your own phone number. The more high-risk numbers you call, the more likely your number will be marked as spam.

SourceWhale helps you identify and avoid these high-risk numbers by blocking calls made to them from the SourceWhale Dialer.

There are two broad categories of High-Risk Numbers:

Toll Fraud Risk Numbers: These numbers are typically part of fraud schemes, where the owners receive revenue for every minute of the call. Engaging with these numbers can inadvertently support fraudulent activities.

Special Service Numbers: These numbers include premium-rate, shared-cost, and other special service numbers. Calls to these numbers often incur higher charges and can be associated with deceptive practices.

The SourceWhale Dialer is regularly updated with the latest high-risk regions and number ranges to protect your account from engaging with high-risk numbers.
