Protect Yourself From Unsolicited Phone Calls
We all know how important online privacy and security have become. The world is experiencing a rise in the number of cyberattacks and identity theft. Being safe and protecting our privacy should be on everyone’s mind.
Privacy and security risks also exist offline
Those risks don’t only exist online. Everytime we meet someone we don’t particularly know well, we always have a risk that this person might not be who they say they are. By sharing our contact information, we might be providing private details to people who should not have them. These people might then call you in the middle of the night, bother you at work, don’t know on which time zone you are or constantly try to reach you. It can be bothersome and sometimes dangerous.
Don’t share your phone number to speak with someone
At Instantgo, we are very conscious of these issues. This is why we let people find, contact and reach one another over the phone without having to have some sensitive information such as their phone number. By simply using their username, people can call each other and interact. No need for more information. People can fill their Instantgo profile without having to provide their email address or phone number.
Additionally, each time someone place a call on Instantgo, they pay and compensate the time of the person receiving that call. This further ensures that these calls are important enough to be placed in the first place.
Who is who
Being careful should not lead to paranoia. Not everything is dangerous or entails a risk. You can always share your personal information with your loved ones, family and friends as you know them well. But you should be careful on how you share some information to a broader circle or when you don’t really know who is front of you.
