(Finland) Within the last year I've gotten two "ms support" scam calls, before that nothing.

At least they are working on it (English article from Dec 2021: https://www.traficom.fi/en/news/traficom-looks-ways-block-international-scam-calls https://www.traficom.fi/en/news/traficom-looks-ways-block-in..., latest Finnish technical recommendation PDF on call blocking from Feb 2022: https://www.traficom.fi/sites/default/files/media/regulation/Suositus%20teleyrityksille%20A-tilaajanumeron%20v%C3%A4%C3%A4rent%C3%A4misen%20havainnoinnista%20ja%20est%C3%A4misest%C3%A4.pdf https://www.traficom.fi/sites/default/files/media/regulation...).
- ciropantera 4y agoOut of curiosity, you got these scam calls in Finnish? I always thought that US was a specially good market for these scams because you have ~300m potential victims and a good supply of english-speaking people in poorer countries who are willing to participate on the scheme, so a Finnish-speaking ms support scam would be hard to understand from this point of view.
