This handy NordVPN tool flags scam calls on Android - even before you answer

NordVPN, a popular virtual private network provider, has introduced a new feature called "Scam Call Protection" for its Android app. This tool aims to help users identify and avoid potential scam calls before even answering the phone. The Scam Call Protection feature utilizes a database of known scam numbers to analyze incoming calls and provide a warning if the number is suspected to be associated with fraudulent activities. This can assist users in making an informed decision about whether to answer the call or let it go to voicemail. To set up the feature, users need to enable it within the NordVPN app's settings. Once activated, the app will display a warning message on the screen when a suspected scam call is received, allowing users to take appropriate action. This addition to the NordVPN app aims to provide an extra layer of security and protection for Android users, helping them navigate the increasing problem of scam calls and potentially avoid falling victim to such fraudulent activities.
