Older people receive many scam calls – fake banks, fake police, "your grandchild is in trouble". These settings stop most of them before they ring.

1. Turn on spam protection in the phone app

  • Google Phone app: Phone → Settings → Caller ID & spam → turn on "Filter spam calls".
  • Samsung: Phone → Settings → Caller ID and spam protection → On, and block "Spam and scam calls".

2. Block numbers that call again

Open the call in the call log → Block / report spam.

3. Easy Phone scam protection

Easy Phone warns about suspicious calls and messages and can let only contacts reach your parent, so unknown callers do not get through.

4. Agree on a family rule

Tell your parent: no bank, card or password details on the phone, ever – and call a family member back on a known number when someone says it is urgent.
