When hit by an annoying, well known scam our phone started ringing several times a day with annoying idiotic messages. In response, we created a website allowing people to post complaints regarding similar harassing phone calls they receive so everybody knows. The online community complaints list created awareness in the community, but it couldn’t protect people from receiving unsolicited phone ca
lls. Government operated Do-Not-Call lists are useful to some extent, but they cannot protect from overseas scams and international call centers. Our website was receiving complaints from people of all walks of life: workers, doctors, students, parents, families and the elderly. Everyone seemed to be affected by unsolicited harassing phone calls coming from all directions. Unscrupulous marketers, crooks and thieves are constantly trying to reach your phone regardless of your local time, day or night. Unwanted phone calls are disturbing and annoying. The fight against phone spam seemed hopeless until one day a friend of mine sparked the idea of creating an app that everyone can download to protect themselves and their phone against harassing calls. We embraced the idea for an app to stop unwanted phone calls. Our uncommon approach allowed us to achieve true automation via a unique process backed by a constantly updated community supported database of freshly reported harassing phone numbers. The Reverd app works seamlessly in the background with minimal user input. The user does not need to manually mute each and every unwanted number. The whole community protects you by reporting harassing numbers. Once a number is added to the community complaints it will be banned on all phones using the Reverd app. Thus, the whole community is working for you and everyone is contributing to the community complaints database. The result is a constantly updated automatic system to stop unwanted phone calls regardless of where they are coming from: whether from a marketer, spammer, fraud or prank.
