It’s a universal experience. Every once in a while, you’ll get a random call from your iPhone – and they’ll often be from scammers. It’s not fun, and wastes everybody’s time.
Apple does offer features to fight against this, like the ability to silence all unknown numbers, but that can have unintended side effects. With Incogni, you can fight against the root of the problem.
The scam call problem
Scammers don’t just get your phone number at random. It’s very targeted.
Despite being your personal information, the way it’s distributed is well out of your control. Companies will regularly sell your data to data brokers for their own gain, and things like this will often be hidden so deep in the terms & conditions – making you unaware.
Information like your name, age, and lifestyle will often be sold alongside phone numbers – making it incredibly easy for scammers to call people in a convincing manner.
Furthermore, once your data is being taken advantage of by scammers – it’s a pipeline to phishing, impersonation, and even identity theft.
Incogni fights for you

With Incongi, you can get your personal information deleted from data brokers – stopping the problem at its source. Incogni scours the internet for your personal information, and puts in the effort of individually reaching out to each data broker to request the removal of your information.
