## Description

Robocall Blocker provides robust protection against spam calls and texts by screening unknown callers and analyzing messages for scams. When an unidentified caller calls, the extension prompts them to state their name and purpose, allowing you to accept, reject, or send the call to voicemail. It also cross-references numbers against a global scam database and scans caller dialogue for suspicious language. For texts, Robocall Blocker detects spam by verifying sender numbers and checking message URLs against known malicious sites. Included in select Allstate Identity Protection plans, this tool adds an essential security layer to your phone experience, helping safeguard your identity and finances from potential robocall and text scams.
