I just got a call from a scam number that I didn’t pickup on. My phone notifies me that I got the call. I say OK, dismiss. But maybe there’s a better way?

How about a “scam” option such that scam numbers get marked as such. You can decide if you want to pick it up if it says “scam” . if the number gets say 10 marks, then its auto routed to the local police regardless. If the police then investigate the company at the company’s expense then they can get a vetted mark. If they screw up again 10 times they get auto routed permanently to an AI person to waste their time.

This could be tolerable. In parallel we should start jumping ship. My next phone doesn’t actually need a phone. I will look for data connection 6G. That’s all. I can install a voice communication app and use it that way if I want. Otherwise, I just want that useless feature removed.
