T-Mobile Scam Block and Scam ID Enabling to Protect from Phone Scams

T-Mobile US just introduces new network technology to protect customers from phone scams.  Scam ID and Scam Block features begin rolling out to their customers start yesterday and good news for you it’s free. T-Mobile Scam Block built on powerful new technology in T-Mobile’s network.

T-Mobile began yesterday, 24 Mar rolling out Scam ID and Scam Block to their customers today to safeguard them from scam calls, which cost Americans millions of dollars every year. With Scam ID, customers automatically get alert when an incoming call is likely a scam. Then when customers enable Scam Block, T-Mobile will stop scam calls before they ever reach them.

These free new customer protection features are powered by patent-pending T-Mobile technology built right into the Un-carrier’s advanced network. This protection feature also means scam blocking works on every single phone on T-Mobile’s network.

Phone scams come in all shapes and sizes, from the IRS scam to Medicare cons to “free” travel to credit card scams and countless others. These phone scams are run by fraudsters who are often armed with robocalling technology enabling them to target vast numbers of people. Phone scam make tens of thousands of calls a minute with the sole purpose of cheating people and separating them from their money.

Every year, T-Mobile claims three out of four people in the US get at least one scam call—and fraudsters cheat consumers out of more than half a billion dollars per year! It’s insane. “So the T-Mobile team designed a brilliant set of patent-pending technologies — then built them directly into our network, so there’s nothing customers have to do. No hoops to jump through, no app to download. Like most T-Mobile technologies, it just works.” said Neville Ray, Chief Technology Officer for T-Mobile.

If you prefer scam calls never bother you, you just can simply turn on Scam Block, and T-Mobile will terminate the call before it ever reaches the customer – stopping the scammers cold.
