Re: Upgrade nitification

My Dad got the same thing this morning!  Is there some way to prevent this, block this, and/or report them???
I love my Dad, but he's technologically a little behind and I don't want him getting caught by something like this!

 If the call is already in his Contacts and was answered unintentionally, on the Recent list, right-click on the unwanted contact and then click on Block (the garbage can icon).
