Scam warnings
Phone numbers and websites we have confirmed are used by scammers will be listed here, so that anyone who searches for one finds a warning before they call it.
Confirmed entries
No public entries yet.
The first entries will appear here after they have been confirmed and reported.
A number that is missing from this list is not safe for that reason. If a caller wants gift cards, remote access to your computer or a payment to “fix” a problem, hang up.
What an entry will show
- The phone number or website. Written the way people search for it.
- What the scam says. The story the pop-up, email or caller tells, so you can recognise it.
- When we last saw it. Numbers change hands, so every entry carries a date.
- What to do. A link to the guide for victims.
How an entry gets here
- We saw it ourselves. An entry comes from a call or a website we dealt with directly, not from a tip alone.
- It is reported first. The number or site goes to the companies and authorities that can act on it before it is listed.
- Numbers and websites only. No names, faces or addresses. An entry describes a scam, not a person.
Is your number listed here?
Scammers drop numbers, and phone companies hand them on to new customers. If a number listed here has been reassigned to you, contact us and we’ll remove it.
