Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to detecting and preventing transmission of spam messages using modified source numbers. A computing platform may detect that a first message, sent to a recipient device from a sender device, includes suspicious content. Subsequently, the computing platform may receive, from the recipient device, user interaction information indicating that a user of the recipient device has sent a reply message in response to the first message. Then, the computing platform may generate a modified message by modifying a first source number corresponding to the reply message. Next, the computing platform may cause transmission of the modified message with the modified first source number to the sender device. Thereafter, the computing platform may intercept one or more additional messages between the sender device and the modified first source number and redirect the one or more additional messages.
