A convenient and effective way to stop unwanted robocalls

This post is sponsored by T-Mobile and all opinions are my own.

Over the past few months, scam and robocalls have become just one more nuisance to deal with, as if we didn´t have enough on our minds already.

If you are also tired of receiving unwanted robocalls and scam calls, here is an effective way to get rid of them for good.

But these scammers are taking advantage of consumer health and financial fears, using coronavirus as an opportunity to prey on potential victims.  Americans have already lost over $80 million to COVID-related scams this year, and it’s only getting worse — coronavirus scams increased 70% from just May to June.

That´s a lot!

If you are also tired of receiving unwanted robocalls and scam calls, here is an effective way to get rid of them for good.

My husband, my daughter and I used to field these unknown calls. But, as the issue became worse, I resorted to not answering any call from an unknown number.

That wasn’t a suitable solution – I began missing important calls that I actually did want to answer, and the scam calls were still coming through.  

Now there is a way to be protected against scams and robocalls– 

If you are a T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile and Sprint customer, you automatically get Scam Shield, a set of safeguards – including technology built  into the heart of the T-Mobile network – to protect you for FREE. This makes T-Mobile the FIRST and ONLY major wireless provider to protect every customer against scammers.
