I've done some victim support for people who have lost their life's savings to a phishing scam. If only they had someone helping them disable these things, install ad blockers, explain caller ID spoofing etc. I wish you could completely block URLs and phone numbers from SMS -- it's by far the most dangerous vector. People get a text from their bank, the tax agency, their medical fund, fedex. It warns them of a problem on their accounts and they leap into action like Pavlov's dog, clicking the link, calling the number. The nice man on the other end listens and says "we need to secure your accounts, but before we continue I need to do a full ID check. Can we start with the current balance of your account? Very good. And your full name and DOB? Okay, just waiting for the system, a bit slow today ha ha. Now we will be sending you a security prompt by SMS to verify you. We take security very seriously here...".
