Today， I'm going to talk to you about how to check suspected phone call.
And also how to block the phone from the suspected numbers?
I got iPhone here, so today I received call from one strange number, it start with 0800.
Normally, this should be from an agency or from somebody who do the marketing.
However, you do not answer the phone unless you know the number is from genius sources. It is safe to do so.
What you can do is that you can go to the internet.
OK, first you need to search the number. I just searched this number.
Then, the Internet will be coming up with information about this number.
If you look at it closely what it said: The overall rating for telephone number of this is negative.
There have been over 32,000 phones were looking up and 179 comments were relating to this number.
On this page, 9 users rated it as ‘Dangerous’, and five user rated as ‘Unknown’.
Four users rated it as ‘Harassing’. One user said it as ‘Safe’ and one user rated as ‘Neutral’.
If you go further down. They will tell you further information and the summary of this phone number.
And here, they give the statistics. Average is negative. Number of search is 32000 searches.
and the number of comments. So, if you go further down here.
They will tell you the caller’s identifications: 'there is a high probability that the telephone number called you is a home appliance scam!'
At the moment, they are unable to verify this number is a genuine or truly belong to that Domestic and General.
They tell you why do we care? Falling victim to a scam can have a huge emotional impact as well as a series of financial one.
So it is vitally important that older people are aware of the type of phone scam.
And know what to do to protect himself. Reporting scams, those that are successful and attempts
is hugely helpful in trying to catch the fraudsters and helping others avoid them in the first place.
So, this is important. However, we do not know if this one is a scam because I have not answered the phone.
But however, I will be very cautious when I found this information from the Internet,
because this number have called me a few times, but fortunately I missed the call.
So, I didn't know. This even tell you, for example, where were the most from for looking up.
For example, the top location to look up this phone number was from London.
The second was Manchester, third was Birmingham. Leeds, Sheffield and Warrington.
Yes, this is for the top ten locations. So many people have received call.
How you can block the suspected phone number? What you do is you go to your phone.
Then, you will show the ‘recent calls’. For example, the top one you want to block.
On the right-hand side, there is a in ‘I’ , click that. Then, this is coming up to this number.
Then, you can scroll down and when you scroll to the bottom.
You will find the red colour ‘Block this Caller’. You just simply click ‘Block this Caller’.
Confirm ‘Block contact’. Then, this caller is blocked.
Then the caller from this number call you again, you will not receive the phone.
However, if one day you want to unblock this number, you just come to this page.
‘Recent calls’, find the number, scroll down to the bottom.
Then, click ‘unblock this caller’. It will be unblocked.
