“Potential Scam” is the word that appears in searches from customers of T-Mobile, Metro (a T-Mobile company formerly known as MetroPCS), and Sprint (since the two companies merged). This is T.” – Mobile Fraud Shield. This is part of a special feature designed to prevent fraudulent and spam-like calls.
T-Mobile’s network automatically monitors every call made to its customers for information about fraudulent phone numbers. Scam calls are all simple, pretending to be a government agency, asking for a free card to pay for something, tech support tech, or that annoying old robocall.
Can We Trust on Scam Likely Calls?
If you pick one up and don’t provide any personal information, assume the person on the other end is lying to you.
When in doubt, ignore calls from unknown numbers. A real person who doesn’t have your number will leave a message if the reason for the call is important. And if you ever go on a call that makes you uncomfortable, just hang up.
