If a name doesn’t come up when someone calls me, I let it go to voicemail or it’s a scam

The FTC does NOTHING! I've reported the family phones and all of us continue to get unwanted calls. These were reported to the FTC "years" ago!!!! I've actually submitted the request at least two times.

It's not just apple phones that get these scams. I work in aged care and I've met so many elderly people that have fallen for these scams in one form or another, it's really sad. I advise them to never tap on a link in an SMS from someone they don't know personally. Even if they do know them, give them a call to make sure they actually sent the Text and the link.

When you google Apple support the first number that comes up is a scam number

I just had a scam yesterday from some I don't know asking for me to pay them one dollare through pay pal. Didn't fall for and have put in a scam complaint to pay pal. Thanks for your great info.

No one is exempt from becoming a victim of deception, in one form or another.

i deleted the true caller and phone apps before fully activated because there was no easily visible free version and they were pushing a free trial period and then about $10 per every 7 days UK . 🙁

Thanks for all of the great videos and information! I have used several of your tips and seen some improvement in a whole bunch of areas to include scams and spam.

[Robert-cknm]

An Apple Service Rep proactively calling a customer to help them??? Nobody would fall for that!

[Clydesmith]

My wife's garbage iPhone gets 25-35 spam calls a day now since we moved. None from where we live but all over the country. Pretty much every state. Getting tired of deleting the garbage as well and marking it as spam.

[jerryvincent]

[barrygiddey]

[margaretprenger]

Thank you‼️ Do you know how to restore the items that used to be on the watch when you scrolled up from watch face.For example, battery, ring/silent, ding your phone, etc. Thank you‼️

Over in the UK at the moment we are suffering from people ringing from an 0843 or sometimes 0845 number twice and then hanging up. It’s a nuisance more than anything.
Also getting people ringing my secondary phone from all over the UK and also Ireland.
I know it’s a scam because I haven’t given anybody the number.
I have used the temporary solution at the moment of turning off my voicemail and silencing unknown numbers.

Thank you for your help with all things iPhone. I get these texts and callers all the time, especially about not paying tolls. I live in the Australian outback with only dodgy satellite internet when the skies are clear and haven’t driven on a toll road in 25 years. I’d be happy to drive on sealed road instead of gravel/dirt! So they didn’t fool me. But thanks to you I also never click on links friends have sent either because they’re not safety savvy. It really annoys them but tough luck! Several have been scammed. I can only hope I don’t.
