but there are harms to this method and some companies prevent it from working and these are some of the harms that result from these methods:
The private number feature «private number» is a great source of danger to security and stability, as it is used to scam and defraud many officials and important figures, by claiming that its owner is an important person or an officer in an official agency, and asking them to achieve some interests or donate to some projects or funds. Many cases have been recorded where these fraudsters succeeded in exploiting this feature to obtain money or job benefits or personal revenge.
Not only that, but this feature may also be used to serve terrorist or seditionist goals, and disrupt the political and security situations, in a way that harms the institutions and national figures. The caller may pretend to be an official in a government or political agency, and contact some public figures, and ask them to comply with some positions or demands, and record these calls and then leak them to the media or hostile groups, with the aim of tarnishing the reputation of these figures or influencing public opinion
