Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I constantly keep getting scam calls that promptly hangup when I'm waiting for an important call so I start ignoring calls from unknown number just to be surprised as to why someone didn't call me

Describe the solution you'd like
Whenever receiving a call then the app shows under the phone number if it is a known scam caller using a quick lookup if the user is connected to the internet and possibly a rough area of where the call would be through the likes of a phone lookup in case that the number isn't

Describe alternatives you've considered
At least a small concise method where a known scam caller could be flagged to help prevent scam calls all around the world

Additional context
Information from sites such as UK Whocalled, US Whocalled being used as a resource to find out if the phone number is a known scammer based on previous reports

apps have no internet access
fr for area #39 (in history, but could be reused)

we could create script for creating list of spam numbers from that websites maybe, but I think that is out of scope of this project, plus size would be big
