Show Notes

Spam and robocalls hit an all-time historic high during the recent pandemic. The constant campaign to try and sell us something as consumers or scam us is not only annoying, but can actually result in identity theft, ransomware and malware installed on our smart devices. In this episode we explore some useful ways to defend against robocalling, spam texts and spam emails and discuss some new ways in which communication companies and the FCC are stepping up the counter-offensive against these tactics, trying to sell you an 'extended auto warranty plan', refinance your student loan, or scam you!
