Community reports are not proof
Reports are written by users. They may be incomplete, outdated, mistaken or one-sided. A risk score is an internal WhoCalledMe measure based on the reports we have. It is not a finding of criminality and must not be treated as proof of who made a call.
Caller ID can be spoofed
The number on your screen may not be the real source of the call. Scammers can display a bank, HMRC, courier or local number. We never claim that a listed number “belongs to a criminal”.
No reports does not mean safe
If we have no reports, it only means nobody has published one yet. Do not take that as a green light to share personal or banking details.
What you should still do
If you suspect fraud, contact your bank using a number you already trust, call 159 for UK bank fraud teams where that service applies, and report to Action Fraud. In an emergency call 999.
