The company works with carrier giants like T-Mobile to
alert consumers of scam calls by displaying "Scam Likely"
as caller ID on their phones.
Serious question: who is selling these callers access to the phone network and allowing them to send blatantly false metadata?
Seems like it would be easier to stop letting scammers make calls...
- bediger4000 8y agoYes, that seems plainly obvious. Enforcing laws about faking caller ID would be a really good start. But no, we can't possibly do that. Multi-nationals, including the larger US phone companies, would lose some tiny bit of money, so it's right out.
