News: T-Mobile Helps You Dodge All Those Annoying Phone Scams with New 'Scam Likely' Warnings
T-Mobile just unveiled two new services—Scam ID and Scam Block—which specifically target those pestering robo-calls that reach out to 2.4 million Americans every month.The FCC, the country's telecom regulator, proposed new rules on Thursday that would allow phone companies to take the steps needed to target and block calls from suspicious phone numbers.According to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, "Robo-calls are the No. 1 consumer complaint to the FCC from members of the American public."
