I'd suggest turning on Scam ID for a bit before turning on Scam Block. It still rings, but has a "Scam Likely" caller id name.
So far it's had three false positives: the robocalls from my kid's school related to snow days and bus delays, the reminder calls from my doctor, and a fraud alert from Capital One to confirm or deny a flagged charge.
I only caught those ones because the numbers were already saved in my phone as contacts. I would have never even known about these call attempts with the Block on, whereas with Scam ID they have the option to leave a voicemail when I deny the call, plus I can look up the number later if I feel like it.
- mikestew 9y agoA good suggestion; as a counter-anecdote, I don’t recall anything that Scam ID flagged that I cared about (they didn’t leave voicemail, at least), and I’ve had that on since they implemented it. Don’t have kids in school, but doctor/dentist calls get through. But your experience says an experiment is in order first.
