What can the users learn about a number that is calling them?
Users can find the reviews of the phone number written by other users, the interest in the phone number in the last month and, if possible, its location (for landlines). Sometimes, there are no reviews for a given phone number. If, however, the page has e.g. a thousand views, it shows that it is most likely an annoying caller.

More than 100 people have been arrested in the UK’s biggest ever fraud operation, which brought down a website police describe as a “one-stop spoofing shop” used by scammers to steal tens of millions of pounds from Britons via fake bank phone calls.

Mainly had txt's claiming to be QML Pathology, stating my account was overdue.
only problem is, I've never used this pathology company, or had any other tests done this year.
Now, I am getting phone messages claiming the same thing.

Received a message saying they are a pathology company calling about an unpaid invoice. I believe this to be a scam
