block number call scammer unknown number
There are several ways to block a scammer's phone number, depending on the type of device you have:
- iPhone: Go to your recent calls list, find the number you want to block, tap the "i" symbol next to it, scroll down, and tap "Block this Caller."
- Android: Open the Phone app, go to your recent calls list, find the number you want to block, tap the three dots in the upper right corner, and tap "Block number."
- Landline: Contact your service provider and ask them how to block numbers on your specific landline phone model.
- You can also block numbers through your service provider's website or by calling their customer service line. You can also install third-party call-blocking apps on your smartphone, which may offer more advanced features, such as blocking numbers based on specific criteria, such as area code or prefix.
Scammers often use caller ID spoofing to disguise their number, so blocking the number may only sometimes be practical. Be vigilant and cautious when receiving calls from unknown numbers, and never provide personal information or money to someone you don't know.
