Does T-Mobile "Scam Shield" app not block scam from verified numbers?
Scam Shield app on my iPhone seems to have worked okay until recently. But that changed. The app now says,"Scam Block is on. 7 scam likely calls blocked in the last 30 days." But I've personally reported 58 calls from a dozen or so boiler rooms in the last four days. Many of those are from the same numbers received after I reported them as spam. The calls are robo-dialed. Often they hang up when I answer. Other times a person comes on the line. The callers are looking for Clara Kendrick who lives in West Virginia. That's not me, and I don't live there. The callers are looking for health insurance sales leads. I checked with Healthcare.gov and was told there were no applications there from anyone using my phone number. Some of the nuisance calls have come through more than five times. There so many I cannot be sure, but I think the calls that come through repeatedly are from verified numbers. I've started using my iPhone feature to block those numbers. But I'm still curious.I talked to T-Mobile tech support but couldn't get any answers that made sense. Can someone explain what it is about these calls that evades the Scam Shield app?
Spam Caller: +1 805 637 7243
This # has been leaving voice messages ever since I got my phone in 2018. Every time I shut down my phone then turn it back on it says that I have a new voice message from the same #. Then its says that voice mail was detected using SMS but I haven't even been able to set up my voice mail. So I Googled the # to see if anyone else was having this problem and I found that this # is from Santa Barbara and many people have had this issue just like me and most of them said that this # had something to do with T-Mobile. Then I heard that this # was a viruse or a hacker trying to get into your phone which almost gave me a heart attack. So if you could explain to me what this # really is then that would be great.Scam calls from 866-969-1631?
I've received calls from 866-969-1631 offering 50% off on my t-mobile bill. When I call the number I get some guy that sounds like he is in India or Pakistan trying to get my account information. The auto attendant for the number spoofs the actual t-mobile auto attendant nearly perfectly.FEWER SCAM CALLS. PERIOD
