Clang Posted July 4 ID:1646934 Share Posted July 4 They did this twice already. They go to an advertisment on Facebook and start the check-out,they start filling out the check out form and get freaked out when it asks for more information than necessary.They back out but the scammers have the card information but luckily the card carrier caught these bad transactions and canceled the card each time. Question is ....how can we setup the android phone to detect these scams and block them.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted July 4 ID:1646939 Share Posted July 4 (edited) It's not the Android, per se, it's Facebook and the naive victims. Time to block Facebook. Edited July 4 by David H.

NewTricks Posted July 5 ID:1647022 Share Posted July 5 @Clang I feel your frustration. A permanent solution requires user awareness & discrimination, which is learned over time. Facebook is difficult to leave. Limiting purchases within that platform could be a first step. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3CH Posted July 16 ID:1649389 Share Posted July 16 (edited) @Clang - I work on these issues daily. You need to setup their routers DNS to point to NextDNS (make sure it maintains its IP link) - Then use their scamware/malware/ai/ads/etc block lists. Once you have done this - you will block 95% of the bad links. NextDNS link - https://nextdns.io/?from=b7smdsyp You will need to pay their $2 per month fee but its totally worth it. Also on mobile specific you can install the NextDNS app that will send all DNS requests to NextDNS.
