STIR/SHAKEN produces a different message, "Caller Verified", when a caller is confirmed. Source: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/scam-id-and-...

Is it possible to make your phone just flat out completely decline those calls?

T-Mobile tags suspect numbers with "Scam Likely". Opt-in to decline these calls by dialing #662# - https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/call-protection

ps. Forward text message SPAM to 7726 - https://www.t-mobile.com/responsibility/privacy/fraud-spam/s...
