PrivacyStar: SCAM protection

PrivacyStar is an application that gives you back control of your phone by providing various features. These features include Scam Likely Protection, Enhanced Caller ID, Reverse Number Search, Block by Call Category, the ability to prevent callers from leaving voicemails, blocked call notifications, and the option to report fraudulent calls to the FTC. This app has received positive reviews from reputable sources such as CBS, TIME, and Forbes.

The Scam Likely Protection feature is constantly updated every six minutes with the most accurate information to protect you from scammers, spammers, and fraudulent callers. The Enhanced Caller ID feature identifies incoming calls with a name, category, and even an enhanced image and logo when available. The Reverse Number Lookup feature allows you to search for any number and displays the owner and associated call category.

You can also block calls by category, such as telemarketers, account services, and even your ex. The app also gives you the option to prevent callers from leaving voicemails or send them straight to voicemail. You will receive notifications when calls are blocked, sent to voicemail, or when you have new voicemails. Additionally, you can file a report against abusive callers directly from the app, and the reports will be sent to the FTC.

PrivacyStar also offers custom call blocking, where you can add any number to your blocklist. The app also displays the call category of incoming calls, if available. Your privacy is protected as the app only uses your contacts to enhance your incoming call experience. This feature is only available to Verizon, AT&T, and Cricket customers at this time.

You can interact with PrivacyStar on various social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. However, due to changes in the Android system, text blocking is not available on Android version 4.4 and higher. The Enhanced Caller ID feature requires a network connection to function properly. Overall, PrivacyStar is a useful app that helps you take control of your phone and protect yourself from unwanted calls.
