Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
To identify who called you, use reverse phone lookup services like Truecaller or Sync.me to check for spam tags. Scammers often pose as trusted organizations (banks, police, government) to steal personal information or money. Be wary of unsolicited calls asking for urgent action, personal details, or unusual payments.
These platforms allow you to search a specific number to see if other users have flagged it as a scam or telemarketing.
Depending on your location, you can check if a number or organization is a known threat.
If your phone displays a label like "Scam Likely" or "Spam Risk", your carrier (such as T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon) has used algorithms to flag the call as suspicious based on known spam patterns and customer feedback.
