In recent years, scam calls have become increasingly sophisticated and frequent, making them hard to detect. Just like the example mentioned in the video, Xiao Wang recently received a suspicious call claiming he had won a large prize. All he needed to do was pay a small fee to claim it. Such enticing opportunities often lead unsuspecting people into traps, resulting in financial loss. Fortunately, Xiao Wang had previously installed the National Anti-Fraud App, which provided him with an instant alert, helping him avoid falling victim to this scam.
As technology evolves, scam calls have become more cunning, and it’s easy for people to get tricked without realizing it. That’s why learning how to defend against these calls is essential. In this article, I will guide you on how to use the National Anti-Fraud App to effectively block scam calls and safeguard your finances.
1. Installing the National Anti-Fraud App.
The first step is to open the App Store on your iPhone and search for the keyword “反诈app (Anti-fraud app)” for the app “国家反诈中心(National Anti-Fraud App)“. Once found, download and install the app. After installation, go to your phone’s “Settings“. If you’re using iOS 17, you can directly find the “Phone” app. For iOS 18, you’ll need to click on the “App” option first and then locate “Phone”. Once you’ve opened the Phone settings, select “Call Blocking & Identification” and ensure that the toggle switch for the National Anti-Fraud App is on, making the button turn green. This indicates that the app has been successfully set up.
2. Further Configuration of the National Anti-Fraud App.
After the basic setup, open the National Anti-Fraud App to perform additional configurations. Inside the app, you’ll find an option called “来电预警(Call warning)”. If this is your first time using the app, you will be prompted to update the database of scam phone numbers. Keeping this database updated ensures that you are protected from the latest scam numbers. Once updated, every time you receive a call, the app will automatically block any known scam numbers, ensuring your financial safety.
3. How to Block Harassing Calls.
Besides scam calls, advertising and telemarketing calls can also be a major nuisance. Thankfully, you can block these numbers easily through your phone. Whenever you receive an annoying telemarketing call, simply open the “Phone” app, click on the number, then tap the small “i” icon next to it. From there, you can choose “Block Caller“. This will prevent that number from disturbing you again in the future.
4. Prevention is Key to Financial Safety.
The damage caused by scam calls is not only financial but can also lead to emotional and psychological distress. To prevent such losses, we must always stay vigilant and take precautionary measures. By installing and correctly using the National Anti-Fraud App, we can effectively protect ourselves from scam attempts and secure our personal information in everyday life.
In summary, as communication technology continues to evolve, scammers keep coming up with new tactics. However, we also have more tools at our disposal to fight back. The National Anti-Fraud App is a powerful tool that helps identify and block scam calls, safeguarding both your personal finances and sensitive information.
