The problem

Scams don't look like scams anymore

They call with a friendly voice, pretending to be your bank, a package delivery, or a relative. And blocking all unknown numbers isn't a solution: you'll miss calls from your doctor, school, or work.

“This is your bank calling”

They ask for a code, password, or to “confirm” a transfer. Your bank will never ask for this.

“Your package is on hold”

An SMS with a link to pay a fake fee. The link mimics an official postal service or real store.

“Hi mom, I changed my number”

Someone pretends to be a family member and urgently asks for money.

Endless telemarketing

Offers for loans, insurance, and surveys at all hours, even if you registered with the No Llame registry.

How it works

A smart decision in less than a second

  1. 1

    An incoming call arrives

    Before it rings, Scamora checks the number right on your phone.

  2. 2

    Your contacts come first

    Your contacts, favorites, trusted list, and numbers you've called always ring. That data never leaves your phone.

  3. 3

    Then, community intelligence

    If the number is unknown, we check its reputation: how many different people reported it, when, and why.

  4. 4

    You decide what happens

    Based on your protection level: it rings normally, warns you, gets silenced, or is blocked.

Every number has a clear status

  • Trusted

    Contacts and your allowlist

  • Known

    You've spoken to this number before

  • Unknown

    No negative data: rings normally

  • Suspicious

    Multiple recent reports

  • Spam

    Confirmed by the community

  • Scam

    Reported as fraud

  • Blocked

    Blocked by you

Call protection

Choose how much protection you want

Switch levels anytime. No mode ever blocks unknown numbers without a reason.

Warnings only

We never block anything. We show who is calling and whether it looks suspicious.

Recommended

Block known spam

We block numbers confirmed as spam or scam. Unknown numbers ring normally.

Pro

Spam and high risk

We also silence or block high-risk numbers. Stronger protection.

Contacts only

Only your contacts and trusted numbers ring. Everything else is silenced.

  • Your own trusted list and blocklist
  • If someone insists and calls back within a few minutes, we let it ring: it might be urgent
  • Optional: block hidden numbers

Caller ID

Know who's calling before you answer

We show information to help you decide: verified company, category, number of reports, and risk level.

  • Verified companies with their real name
  • Spam category: loans, insurance, surveys, fraud…
  • Risk calculated from reports by distinct users

On Android you can check any SMS by pasting it into the app. On iPhone, Scamora filters messages from unknown senders.

Android and iPhone

What Scamora does on each phone

Android and iPhone allow different things. Here is exactly what the app does on yours.

Android

  • Checks every incoming call before it rings (Android’s official “call screening”).
  • Blocks, silences or warns you depending on your protection level.
  • Looks up the live reputation of new numbers.
  • Texts: check any message inside the app. Automatic SMS filtering follows once Google Play approves it.

iPhone

  • Blocks and identifies numbers with a list that iOS loads onto the phone (Call Blocking & Identification).
  • The list updates when you open the app; iOS does not allow checking each call live.
  • Filters texts from unknown senders into the Messages folders (Unknown & Spam).
  • Texts from your contacts and iMessage never pass through the filter – that is Apple’s rule.

Community protection

Every report protects someone else

After a call, one tap is enough: Spam, Scam, Marketing, Not spam, or Trusted. And to prevent anyone from abusing the system:

One report isn't enough

A single report never flags a number as spam. Multiple distinct reports are required.

Reports age over time

A phone number can change owners. Older reports carry less weight.

New accounts carry less weight

We detect bursts of coordinated reports and review them manually.

Appeals are supported

If your business was flagged by mistake, you can request a review and verify your number.

Privacy first

Protecting you without watching your life

Your contacts stay on your phone

We never upload your address book. The decision “it's a contact” is made on the device.

No call history in the cloud

Your call log stays on your phone. Syncing call activity is optional and activated by you.

No account or phone number needed to start

The app works without an account or phone number. Email is optional, only for web dashboard access.

Delete everything with one tap

Remove your account and data right from the app or dashboard. No forms or hassle.

No ads or selling data

Our business is protecting you, not selling your data. Analytics are anonymous and aggregated.

Minimal permissions, always explained

Every permission comes with a reason. If you don't grant it, the app still works as best as it can.

Uruguay · No Llame registry

Registered with No Llame and still getting calls?

Uruguay has a national “No Llame” do-not-call registry (Law 19.996, Art. 181 and Decree 132/022), managed by URSEC. With Scamora, you log every unwanted call with date, time, and number, and we generate the text for your official complaint.

Scamora is not a government agency and does not file complaints on your behalf. We help you gather the details and direct you to the official channel.

How it works

  1. 1

    Register with No Llame through your phone carrier (website, branch, or SMS to 6622 with “ALTA” and your ID number).

  2. 2

    If you still get marketing calls, tag the call in Scamora: we save the number, date, time, and category.

  3. 3

    Copy the summary and submit your complaint for free to URSEC using their official online portal.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

Does Scamora block all unknown numbers?

No. An unknown number with no negative reports rings normally and we show that it's unknown. We only block numbers confirmed as spam or scam by the community, or numbers you choose to block.

Do you upload my contacts or call history?

No. Your contacts and call log stay on your phone. To check the reputation of an unknown number, we only send that specific number, encrypted in transit, and it's never associated with you.

What if my number is flagged by mistake?

A single report isn't enough to flag a number. If your business is marked as spam by mistake, you can request a review on our website and verify your number.

Could it block an SMS with a verification code?

No. Verification code messages (OTP) are never filtered; at most, we'll warn you if the message also contains a suspicious link.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes, within what Apple allows: on iPhone, Scamora blocks and identifies numbers with a list that updates when you open the app, and filters texts from unknown senders. Unlike Android, iOS does not let apps check each call live.

How much does it cost?

The free version includes core protection. Pro will add advanced features later; pricing has not been set yet.

What happens if I delete my account?

Your profile, custom lists, devices, and activity logs are deleted. Reports you submitted remain as anonymous community data, with no link to you.
