The “Spam Likely” determination is fairly unreliable, IMO. They have labeled my doctors office “Scam Likely”, while many “Scam definitely” calls have not been labeled.


T-Mobile's handling of "Scam Likely" seems to be spotty at best, with quite a few false positives. Additionally, their 3rd party vendor seems to be wanting to audit businesses that are mis-identified: https://feedback.fosrvt.com/


I haven’t had a single false positive. I get 1-2 false negatives per week but haven’t found an iOS call blocker which had comparable or better accuracy.

That’ll probably require fixing the broken design of the telephone system.


Is it perhaps because scammers have impersonated your doctor's phone number?
