Caller name ID, scam blocking, and a false number help you ‘block and tackle’ against slippery scam calls. But I just got one as I was writing this story.

呼叫者姓名ID，骗局阻止和错误号码可帮助您“阻止并解决”滑行诈骗电话。 但是当我写这个故事的时候我只有一个。

T-Mobile added some value and reduced some annoyance for its customers today by launching Scam Shield, a collection of free services to detect, block, and mislead spam and scam callers.

T-Mobile推出了Scam Shield ，这是一组免费服务，可检测，阻止和误导垃圾邮件和欺诈者，从而为客户增加了价值，并减少了烦恼。

Scam Shield’s services, in general, existed on T-Mobile’s network before, but not for all plans and sometimes for an extra charge. The new services include named caller ID for callers not in your address book, which formerly cost $4/month; automated network-level scam blocking, which was already free but not available on all plans; a secondary number to give out to businesses and telemarketers, which formerly cost $10/month on many plans; and identity theft protection services.

通常，Scam Shield的服务以前曾存在于T-Mobile的网络中，但并非针对所有计划，有时还会收取额外费用。 新的服务包括为不在您的地址簿中的呼叫者命名的呼叫者ID， 以前的费用为每月4美元 ； 自动的网络级欺诈阻止，该功能已经免费，但并非在所有计划中都可用； 发放给企业和电话推销员的辅助号码，以前许多计划每月的费用为10美元； 和身份盗窃保护服务。

“Scam calls are the №1 complaint at the FCC,” says T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert. “Last year alone, Americans got over 58 billion robocalls. That’s 1,855 calls every second, and they cost Americans over $10 billion per year.”

T-Mobile首席执行官Mike Sievert说：“诈骗电话是FCC的№1投诉。” “仅去年一年，美国人就收到了580亿次自动电话呼叫。 那是每秒1,855个电话，美国人每年为此花费超过100亿美元。”

I have T-Mobile as my personal carrier, and I received an un-blocked, un-labeled spam call while I was writing this story. The call came from a number near Rochester, NY, and was a robocall trying to scam me over a car warranty.

我以T-Mobile作为我的私人运营商，在撰写本文时，我收到了畅通无阻，未贴标签的垃圾邮件电话。 这个电话来自纽约州罗切斯特附近的一个电话，是一个自动电话，试图骗我汽车保修。

Neville Ray, T-Mobile’s president of technology, explains that voice-over-IP services have been “nirvana” for scam callers, letting them fake caller IDs and “pretend to be somebody else.” Some of that will be helped by an FCC-mandated authentication protocol called STIR/SHAKEN, which which the FCC is requiring all US voice providers to use by June, 2021. T-Mobile has implemented it.

T-Mobile技术部总裁内维尔·雷(Neville Ray)解释说，IP语音服务已成为骗局呼叫者的“必杀技”，让他们伪造呼叫者ID并“假装是其他人”。 FCC要求的身份验证协议STIR / SHAKEN可以帮助其中的一些，FCC 要求所有美国语音提供商在2021年6月之前使用该协议。T-Mobile已实施该协议。

Delan Beah, T-Mobile’s SVP of core network services, says T-Mobile also analyzes metrics like the volume of calls coming from a specific number or IP address, how often they’re answered, and how many complaints are associated with a call source. But too many calls are still getting through-like the insurance scam I just got.

T-Mobile核心网络服务高级副总裁Delan Beah表示，T-Mobile还分析了指标，例如来自特定号码或IP地址的呼叫数量，接听频率以及与呼叫源相关的投诉数量。 但是仍然有太多电话打来，就像我刚得到的保险骗局一样。

“The scammers, they’re slippery,” Beah says. “You tackle and block all the time.”

“骗子，他们很滑，”比阿说。 “您一直在解决和阻止。”

So the carriers are taking a multi-pronged approach. T-Mobile launched network-level scam blocking in 2017, and implemented STIR/SHAKEN in November 2018. Named caller ID for people not in your phone book has been a value-added service for all of the wireless carriers for years. T-Mobile calls it Name ID; Verizon calls it Call Filter Plus.

因此，运营商正在采取多管齐下的方法。 T-Mobile于2017年启动了网络级欺诈阻止，并于2018年11月实施了STIR / SHAKEN。多年来，为所有不在您的电话簿中的人命名的来电显示一直是所有无线运营商的增值服务。 T-Mobile称之为名称ID； Verizon称之为Call Filter Plus。

The secondary “proxy number” is the most interesting new feature. It comes out of Digits, a feature that landed in 2017 to some acclaim and which almost nobody has talked about since. Digits allows you to add multiple numbers to your T-Mobile account, managed by an app, for $10/month/number. The little discussion I’ve heard tells me that it hasn’t been the most popular feature, but it’s been plumbed into the network for three years now, so there isn’t a lot of technical work that needed to be done.

次要的“代理号码”是最有趣的新功能。 它来自Digits ，该功能于2017年获得了好评，此后几乎没有人谈论过。 Digits允许您向应用程序管理的T-Mobile帐户中添加多个号码，每月10美元/号码。 我所听到的小讨论告诉我，它并不是最受欢迎的功能，但是已经进入网络三年了，因此不需要做很多技术工作。

People on T-Mobile’s Magenta and Essentials plans will get one number per account, which can be shared by all family members on the account. You can use it for a group voice mailbox, a secondary line, or two-factor authentication. You’ll also be able to change your primary number for free if it’s become too compromised.

T-Mobile的Magenta和Essentials计划的用户每个帐户将获得一个号码，该帐户上的所有家庭成员均可共享。 您可以将其用于组语音邮箱，辅助线路或双因素身份验证。 如果您的主要电话号码遭到破坏，也可以免费更改。

Another feature, Be ID Aware, a 12-month subscription to McAfee Identity Protection, will notify you if your personal information shows up on the dark web or as part of a data breach, says T-Mobile CMO Matt Staneff. We have a review of McAfee Identity Protection, which lets you call McAfee experts for help with things like placing credit freezes and notifying the police. Sign-ups for Be ID Aware will only be available next week through Aug. 31, so check T-Mobile’s website for more.

T-Mobile首席营销官Matt Staneff说，另一项功能是Be ID Aware，它是McAfee Identity Protection的为期12个月的订阅，如果您的个人信息出现在暗网中或作为数据泄露的一部分，它将通知您。 我们对McAfee Identity Protection进行了评估 ，它使您可以致电McAfee专家以寻求诸如冻结信用和通知警察之类的帮助。 Be ID Aware的注册仅在下周至8月31日可用，因此请访问T-Mobile的网站以获取更多信息。

T-Mobile and Metro customers can download the new Scam Shield app, which will offer all of these features, on July 24. Sprint’s version of the app is called Call Screener. For now, people on certain T-Mobile postpaid plans can turn on scam blocking, if they haven’t already, by dialing #662#. (You might as well try it.)

T-Mobile和Metro的客户可以在7月24日下载新的Scam Shield应用程序，该应用程序将提供所有这些功能。Sprint应用程序的版本称为Call Screener。 目前，某些T-Mobile后付费计划的用户可以通过拨打＃662＃来打开诈骗阻止功能(如果尚未启用)。 (您不妨尝试一下。)
