How to stop spam calls & texts in the EU

Endless robocalls and scam texts usually mean your number is on broker and marketing lists. Here's how to cut them off.

Why it's happening

When your phone number is listed on data-broker and people-search sites, it gets scraped into robocall and marketing databases. Removing the source dries up the calls.

Quick wins

Register with your national do-not-call scheme, block persistent numbers, and never confirm you're a real person to an unknown caller (it marks your number as 'active').

Fix the root cause

The lasting fix is getting your number removed from the broker sites feeding those lists. That's exactly what a data cleanup does.

Report scams

Report scam texts to your carrier and national authority — it helps shut down the operations targeting you.

The clean-sweep option

Privora removes your number from the broker network and keeps it out.
