Scam likely calls

Within the last 10 minutes I have received several scam likely calls but do not have the option to decline them. Only the answer option is available.The calls are followed by texts appearing to be in Arabic writing with a reference to TickTok. Is there a resolution to this problem?

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Hey there 4teacher,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re receiving some phishing calls and messages without the option to decline them. We’ll be happy to help.


One thing that may help would be to turn on Silence Unknown Callers and follow the rest of the steps in this link:


Detect and block spam phone calls


Then follow the steps in article to filter and block any messages you get as well:


Filter and block messages on iPhone


Also, follow the steps under “If you get a suspicious phone call or voicemail” from this link as well:


Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams


We hope this helps.


Take care.
