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, with The Verge and TechCrunch praising its use of large databases to block unwanted calls and provide detailed caller information.

One of the standout features of PrivacyStar is its Scam Likely Protection, which updates its database every six minutes to ensure the most accurate information is used to protect users from scammers, spammers, and fraudulent callers. The Enhanced Caller ID feature also helps users identify incoming calls by displaying the caller's name, category, and even an enhanced image and logo if available. Additionally, the app offers a reverse number lookup feature, allowing users to easily identify the owner of a number and its associated call category.

PrivacyStar also gives users the ability to block calls by category, such as telemarketers, account services, and even ex-partners. Users can also choose to prevent callers from leaving voicemails or send them straight to voicemail. The app also provides notifications for blocked calls, voicemails, and new voicemails. Users can also report abusive callers directly from the app, with reports being sent to the FTC.

For added customization, PrivacyStar allows users to add any number to their blocklist and displays the call category of incoming calls, if available. The app also prioritizes user privacy, stating that it only uses contacts to enhance the incoming call experience and does not share this information with any third parties. However, some features, such as Enhanced Caller ID and the ability to prevent voicemails, are only available to Verizon, AT&T, and Cricket customers at this time.

To stay connected with users, PrivacyStar can be found on various social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. However, it should be noted that due to changes in the Android system, text blocking is not available for Android versions 4.4 and higher, and Enhanced Caller ID requires a network connection. Overall, PrivacyStar offers a comprehensive solution for users looking to take back control of their phone and protect themselves from unwanted calls.
