Mark number as legitimate
If a number has been incorrectly marked as SPAM, you can rate it as legitimate. This helps to correct incorrect messages and improve the quality of the database.
Mark as legitimate
Tap on "Mark as legitimate" to give a positive rating. Optionally, you can also add a comment here.
When should I do this?
Mark a number as legitimate if:
- It is a serious call
- The number comes from a real company
- You know the number and it was reported incorrectly
- The call was requested (e.g. doctor's surgery, tradesman, parcel service)
Note: Legitimate ratings help to remove the number from the SPAM database or lower the SPAM score.
