Our Data Sources
Telecom Data
We query telecom databases to verify if a phone number is valid, identify the carrier, and determine the line type (mobile, landline, or VoIP).
AI Analysis
Our AI engine analyzes patterns, risk factors, and known scam indicators to assess the threat level and provide a detailed explanation.
Community Reports
Real reports from users like you who have received calls from these numbers. More reports mean more accurate data.
Understanding Risk Scores
Every phone number receives a risk score from 0 to 100 based on our analysis.
Likely safe. No significant risk indicators found.
Use caution. Some risk indicators present.
Likely a scam. Multiple risk indicators detected.
Definite scam or spoofed number. Do not engage.
What Affects the Score

- Number and type of community reports
- Carrier and line type indicators
- Phone number validity
Note: Invalid or spoofed numbers automatically receive a 100/100 risk score.
