I like this line of thinking, but I think education is the key. Even with good filters you have to be able to smell bullshit.
I enabled iOS “silence unknown callers” option as soon as they added it, but found I miss important calls sometimes. I rely on voicemail for those. There’s no way to completely whitelist your personal communications in this world.
I do get scam voicemails and emails sometimes, but am good at detecting them.

She always is calling me telling me that "her computer is completely dead" and it takes my 10 minutes to realize it's just her mouse that's not working becasue she forgot to charge it. No amount of education will save her. Fortunately, she has no on-line bank or credit card accounts.
- artursapek 3y agoYeah she probably shouldn’t be managing her finances lol
- domador 3y agoNot everyone has a B.S. detector and even sophisticated users can be vulnerable to sophisticated scams. Education can be helpful, but I'd prefer to rely primarily on structural solutions that could even protect the woefully uneducated.
