My phone did something that it would be nice if it did it for many people who are getting ripped off! When a call came through the words Scam Likely flashed at the top. This would be a good feature for land line phones for senior citizens! They could see this alert and not pick up! Does your phone have this feature?

I have TruCaller on. Most of the time, it would block the scam call. If the caller id doesn't show, I won't pick up. I'll let the other person hang up, go to TruCaller to check the call. If it's important, the other person would still call back anyway. If I know the numbers are safe and the caller didn't call back, I'll just call back.

I think it is based on a database. Whenever I receive such a scam call, I will mark it as the scam call and then it will be filter to the blacklist. When more people do so, then there will be such a signal on the smart phone.
