The use of a person's cell phone to commit fraud is known as cell phone fraud. Such scams are usually carried out through fake phone calls or text messages. The victim receives a call from a cell phone scammer, usually claiming to have an emergency or a legal problem. The purpose of the scam is usually to convince the victim to provide personal or financial information. This may include private information such as social security numbers, bank account details or credit card information. In addition, users are often subjected to unsolicited calls for marketing and information gathering initiatives such as campaigns, advertisements and surveys. In this study, a smartphone application built on the blockchain is created to stop these nuisance actions. Transaction times and performance tests have been rigorously performed according to the difficulty levels of the blockchain structure.
