Abstract
A computer-implemented method to detect scam on a communications device is described. An incoming communication is detected at the communications device. A determination is made as to whether a requested response message is detected. The requested response message is analyzed to determine whether the message is suspicious. A response message to the incoming communication is detected. The response message is blocked based on a determination that the requested response message is suspicious.
