I use Gmail for email and get a ton of SPAM but about 95% of it gets trapped in the SPAM filter. The othiler few I’ll just block and delete

For phone calls most of the carriers have apps to block or send SPAM calls to voice mail Any number that is not one of my contacts gets sent to voice mail without the phone even ringing and 99% of the time no message is left because it’s spammers or scammers

Yeah, but it gets really annoying when you are driving and just want to listen to the radio! It seems like I get about 4 an hour of spammers interrupting my music!

That’s pretty much what I do, block and delete, but that’s even gets annoying 🙄. I remember sometime back that Troy talked about aura and I thought he kinda recommended it but then I seen a few months back that there was thousands of people got hacked. Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to block and delete!!!

Yeah I get it some have had enough of the SPAM but It really doesn’t bother me and a non issue for me. Been using Gmail for at least 20 years and certainly will never switch to something else.

Been using an App called Robokiller for a few yrs now. It’s a subscription app but it does a whole lot better job than my provider. Well worth it
