      All,

      This free link should load up a Wall Street Journal article How to Block Scam Calls, the Top Source of Fraud Against Older Adults – Virtual assistants, call blocking and robocall apps can keep con artists at bay. Is it all encompassing? No. Is it pretty good? Yes. Kathy and I use RoboKiller on our iOS phones and it works pretty well. Perfectly? No. But pretty well. The new app using “Artificial Inetlligence” (AI) discussed in the article is an interesting development. Landline phones are now the biggest challenge for us, especially trying to help my parents (mid-80’s) dodge the scammers. If anyone here has a suggestion, to quote Ross Perot – I’m all ears. LOL

      Be safe,

      Phillip

        Interesting article.  I agree  RoboKiller works very well, and you can also report junk texts which is getting just as annoying. ????????????
