There are a lot of myths around scam calls since it’s a shady topic to begin with… Is it true that answering even for a few seconds, lets someone pinpoint your location?

When you answer a call and a robotic voice starts talking about your car's extended warranty, you probably hang up. You assume it was a scam, but really it might have been just a robocall. Here’s the difference:

You dial *67 before calling your landlord back about the security deposit, just in case. But did it actually accomplish anything?

Third call today from the same "Private Number," and your patience is gone? There's a real fix for this, believe it or not.

The number looks extremely local, maybe you almost recognize it. You answer, expecting a neighbor to ask a quick question, but then get a robotic voice instead…

One ring, and it stops. By the time you look at the screen, whoever called is already gone, and a number you don't recognize is sitting in your recents daring you to call it back.

Your own number flashes on the screen, calling you. For a second it feels like your phone's been hijacked from the inside.

That’s what shows up on the screen. No number or anything, just a verdict your phone reached before you even picked up.
