Swatting means dangerous and illegal fake calls about a threat.
Swatting calls can be successfully mitigated using follow-up questioning to identify inconsistencies or weaknesses in the caller’s storyline or to make the caller feel their attempt is failing. Those receiving the call should ask multiple questions in quick succession, and repeat questions later in the call to identify inconsistencies.
