I thought this was an android/apple feature?

I always thought it was an android thing when reporting, but maybe a collab between telco and android

It is a big data thing.

Clients from same telcom reported the # as spam.

Enough # of events triggered, then it will be marked.

How does that work since these places normally spoof their numbers? I wonder if there's a way to actually get where they're calling from...

I actually used to have fun with them when they called. I invented an entire identity down to the car they drive, their job, and family. I'd just send them to random places saying I need to have my duct cleaned and if they asked any questions I'd give them whatever I had of the fake identity. Strangely I haven't gotten a duct cleaning call in a long time...

Cause they want to place listening devices, lol. Jk.

They are looking for that 10% gullible folks usually older folks to scam.

I love picking up these kind of scam calls. I usually talk very softly so that they crank up the volume on their headset then I scream really loudly destroy their ears.

It's stopped for me now. I haven't gotten a duct cleaning call in months.

他们每次打来我就回答我刚刚清洁过。然后对方就秒挂。
