Your changes make my website data access on my iPhone impossible Really pissed off.

If a name doesn’t come up when someone calls me, I let it go to voicemail or it’s a scam

When you google Apple support the first number that comes up is a scam number

Apple needs to stop them.

It's not just apple phones that get these scams. I work in aged care and I've met so many elderly people that have fallen for these scams in one form or another, it's really sad. I advise them to never tap on a link in an SMS from someone they don't know personally. Even if they do know them, give them a call to make sure they actually sent the Text and the link.

Another reason I never answer calls from "Unknown Numbers" is I got sick of answering calls and the person on the other end would just hang up. I looked into it and found that it's very possible these calls were just to check if the number was actually active in someone's phone. They'd compile a list of active phones and sell them to marketers.

An Apple Service Rep proactively calling a customer to help them??? Nobody would fall for that!

The FTC does NOTHING! I've reported the family phones and all of us continue to get unwanted calls. These were reported to the FTC "years" ago!!!! I've actually submitted the request at least two times.

This is a very easy fix. The US congress should pass a law allowing a person or an organization to collect money if a person or an organization can identify and prove to the court that the originator of a robocall (even if they spoofing the phone numbers). If this law is passed, phone companies such as ATT, Verizon, etc... and highly technical individual can make millions and hence the scam and robocalls will not survive the heavy collecting fines/fees ang cease their operation.

@@UTubeQu1che551 Currently, if you receive continuous spam/robocalls and even if you have a technical skill and can identify the operator of the spam/robocall, there is nothing you can do but block them and notify relevant authorities. There should be a new law that 1) requires phone companies when requested by an individual to disclose and turn over all technical data traces of the spam/robocall 2) specifies a scientific mechanism to identify the spam/robocall in front of the court of law and allow individual to sue the operator of the spam/robocall for violation, fines, and restitution. You may never receive another spam/robocall again for the reason that phone companies will use this new law to sue and collect money left and right from these operator of the spam/robocall.

I just had a scam yesterday from some I don't know asking for me to pay them one dollare through pay pal. Didn't fall for and have put in a scam complaint to pay pal. Thanks for your great info.

i deleted the true caller and phone apps before fully activated because there was no easily visible free version and they were pushing a free trial period and then about $10 per every 7 days UK . 🙁

Thanks for all of the great videos and information! I have used several of your tips and seen some improvement in a whole bunch of areas to include scams and spam.

glad you are here -

All the phone companies could stop 90% with the flip of a switch, literally. The reason they won’t is because some people still pay by the minute for cell phone usage and every time they say hello to a junk call “cha-ching” that company makes a few cents. And with a half a million junk calls a minute that adds up.

Most of these setting I do not have on my iPhone. Like the voicemail or the message separation options. Didn’t realise our phones in the UK are not the same as the ones back home I. The states. 😢

Thank you for giving me directions more slowly lol sometimes you guys talk so fast. I can’t keep up. I appreciate it.

I get annoying texts so I tap the info logo from the text then tap "Block this caller" at the bottom

Thank you for your help with all things iPhone. I get these texts and callers all the time, especially about not paying tolls. I live in the Australian outback with only dodgy satellite internet when the skies are clear and haven’t driven on a toll road in 25 years. I’d be happy to drive on sealed road instead of gravel/dirt! So they didn’t fool me. But thanks to you I also never click on links friends have sent either because they’re not safety savvy. It really annoys them but tough luck! Several have been scammed. I can only hope I don’t.

Thank you‼️ Do you know how to restore the items that used to be on the watch when you scrolled up from watch face.For example, battery, ring/silent, ding your phone, etc. Thank you‼️

Is live voicemail available in Australia on iPhone? Note: Live Voicemail is available only in English in the U.S. and Canada, excluding Puerto Rico.

Robokiller can be fun. It records the interaction between your chosen joke voice message and the spam caller.

So the other day I followed along and turned off by your recommendations stuff on my iPhone which was great. However now I can’t no longer track my steps on my watch🤦🏼‍♀️. So what did I do wrong?

I fell for a flash sale/fake shop scam the other week. It popped up at 6am. Thankfully I only spent £9something, but had to change bank details 😂 I avoid my phone until I’m fully awake now 😬

Love the RuneScape reference hahaha

My husband keeps getting spam calls from Europe! It’s driving us crazy.

I use both iPhone and Samsung for different reasons. I get the same amount of spam and robo calls with each.

I’ve heard of phishing attacks taking advantage of Apple's password reset feature. I’ve also recently had problems with my device wanting my phone to update carrier settings, always after a data wipe…how are criminals able to manipulate phone carrier and apple code to attack devices?

Carrier settings updates are normal and would make sense to pop up after a data wipe - usually that data also gets lost when wiping a phone as well.

6:48 Oooh, I had a few of these..... yeah, the ''FBI'' had an international arrest warrant out on me a few times....it was scary at first, but now it is just funny.

Also hover over email address

What about messages that say there has been a data leak and suggest you reset certain passwords?

Hi David. I have an android phone. are you doing a video for android users as it would be much appreciated. thanks

1. How would they get your telephone number? Tolls are pay by plate which means they mail you a bill they don’t have you phone number. If you have a pass just go to the app and check if you need to add money 4. Nothing is free. 5. If you didn’t request a reset ignore 10. Again, how did they get your phone number? Turn on do not disturb but allow contacts. This doesn’t stop them from leaving a message so if it is a good call just add them to contacts and return call. 90% of spammers won’t leave a message.

When anybody calls me with an Indian accent, I hang up.

"We made mistake. Make beeg trouble for moose and squirrel."

When I go to add tru caller to my iPhone permissions, there’s a warning that trucaller will receive text codes from my bank. This concerns me

I even sent you guys message the winning. The iPhone 3 months ago I figured it out and never went through the process so they can charge me .

I don’t get the true caller app for free option only for purchase ..

I got the Norton one today. I don't even have it so I knew it was a scam. SMH

Is there a similar setting on Android?

I heva that option with live voicemail not in europe 😢

Any Apple CarPlay videos what information can we stop them from stealing

I need to know how to turn off restricted mode

Can someone tell me how the scammers get their hands on the money, what are the banks doing in all this. I can hardly spend my own money without gouing through hoops down at the bank, how do these guys get around all the banking rules we have to abide by.

Don’t have “live voicemail” on my iPhone.

If you do not know where it came from, DELETE, BLOCK AND REPORT!

Android had phone/Text spam filter for about a year or more in Australia

Tracall is only free for 7 days not Free?

the biggest iphone scam is the phone itself 😭

Don’t have the settings in my iPhone with Swedish operator

How about ignore anything that you don't go after

I fell for that with another content creator I cannot believe I did that. I almost almost not quite gave him stuff and this guy was from Nigeria absolutely stupid very scary stuff too not even gonna lie. I’m glad my therapist told me about it at the time I didn’t give them my personal information thank God.

I remember a 'woman' on a dating site who apparently bought and sold things. 'She' messaged me to say she was stuck in customs here in the UK and needed me to send her money so that she could get her items back and sell them so she'd be able to repay me. I didn't believe it so told her my uncle worked in customs so let me know which office she was stuck in and I'd see if he could help out. Needless to say I never heard anything back

Ай бұрын

I've never been scammed online or by phone and I've never owned an iOS device. I get dozens of scam texts and emails each month, but my calls are screened and if the phone says "Caller Unknown" or "Possible Spam" I just don't answer it. Then I wait to see if they leave a message, if they do, I get back to them, if they don't, well it can't have been very important anyway. Sometimes it's not about what device you use, it's about being vigilant and not responding to cold callers and not tapping links that lead you to fake web pages.

Apple fixed that issue a while ago.

You just have to be careful who you interact with, and be vigilant about it. Don't tap on links that come from unknown sources. Even if it says it's from a Government department, phone them, using a number you get from another source (not a number that might be in the Text or email) And ask them if they sent the text to you.
