Michigan AG Echoes Warning From Better Business Bureau

Michigan’s Attorney General is echoing a warning released by the Better Business Bureau in regard to using your voice activated smart phone to look up phone numbers and calling them.

As more and more people are becoming reliant on this feature, scammers are aware of this reliance and have devised ways to trick smartphone users into paying fees for services they didn’t expect to be charged for.

They do this by creating fake customer service numbers that will appear in search results when you use voice search.

The assist app algorithm will choose the fake number because it appears at the top of the search results.
