Do NOT download Scam Shield on your Phone: it's a T-Mobile scam!

Like many of you, I got communication from T-Mobile that recommended downloading the new featutre Scam Shield to supposedly filter scams. As an idiot, I downloaded that app on my phone, and set up the preferences to the strictest scam filters.

And now, I’m getting way more scam/marketing calls than I’ve ever had!

T-Mobile are the same scumbags as other telcos. Do. Not. Trust. T-Mobile.

I’ve now deleted that nefarious “scam shield” app from  y phone, and am considering reporting this to the CA AG.

    I’m not a fan of scam shield but I don’t think it’s a scam, I don’t like that you can have incoming caller id but to really unlock that feature you need to pay a monthly fee.

    I’m actually getting the same if not less spam calls since it was installed.


    same..didnt notice any jumps in spam calls..i did get a recorded call from one of our congressmen and it flagged it as possible spam..which hey...it was correct lol.
