A spam call is a type of unwanted call that occurs when a person or company calls an extremely large number of people at once, often identified and labeled with a spam risk label. The intention of a spam call is often to trick or scam the recipient, and they can include various types of scams such as spoofing calls, telemarketing calls, and robocalls. Spoofing calls imitate a local number or that of a well-known company to trick the recipient into answering the call. Telemarketing calls are typically live agents hoping to sell legitimate (albeit, unsolicited) services. Robocalls deliver a pre-recorded voice statement with the same goal of making a sale. The best thing to do when receiving a spam robocall is not to answer, as answering the call signals to the scammers that yours is a live number, and by doing so, you invite further spam calls.
