1. Tracing Spoofed Calls

Authorities use call detail records (CDRs) and telecom data to trace the origin of spoofed calls.

Advanced tracking tools analyze network routes and flag suspicious call rerouting techniques.

Investigators extract logs from victims’ devices and telecom providers.

Metadata, including timestamps, caller IDs, and voice signatures, is scrutinized to detect anomalies.

3. Tracking Financial Transactions

If the fraud involves financial loss, banks and payment platforms provide transaction histories.

Authorities analyze suspicious fund transfers, cash withdrawals, or cryptocurrency transactions.

4. Digital Forensics on Devices
   

Law enforcement examines devices (phones, computers) linked to scammers for malware or call-masking applications.

Cyber forensics experts extract emails, SMS records, and voice recordings as evidence.

5. Collaboration with Telecom Providers

Telecom companies assist by identifying numbers frequently used for spoofing.

They block fraudulent numbers and provide technical insights into the scammer’s methodology.

6. Legal Action & Arrests

Based on gathered evidence, law enforcement obtains warrants to arrest perpetrators.

International cooperation may be required if scammers operate from different jurisdictions.

Confiscation of assets, shutdown of fraudulent call centers, and prosecution under applicable cyber laws.
