Maxis' AI-powered network firewall blocks scam calls and SMS

Maxis users should be receiving fewer scam calls and SMS as it has enabled its AI-powered firewall since January 2026. It also implemented inter-operator spoofing checks with four other telcos.

A Medicare scammer called today. (They call most week days, including holidays.) She said "This is Emily with Medicare Providers, how are you today?"

I said, "Ugh, I WAS fine."

She hung-up on me with no further ado.

Sometimes poor equipment is a tool...

I sang "Add me to your Do Not Call List, I don't want to be called" to a Medicare scammer today. He sang, "I will add you to our do not call list once we complete this process, sir." I kept singing and he hung-up. You know, I expected him to hang-up as soon as I sang.

Scammers never add you to their Do Not Call list though, because they don't maintain one. I'm on the national Do Not Call registry already.

Ugh. I've had three phone calls today so far, from mobile numbers with an automated message reading "This is Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, a letter has been sent…"

Heute ein Anruf von einer Telefonnummer aus +44 und die Mailbox ging dran. Was war darauf zu hören?

"Bitte kontaktiere mich über Whatsapp um deine Belohnung zu erhalten."
