Who creates the database and how is the trustworthiness of the comments ensured?
The phone number database and ratings are created by the users themselves. They can add their reviews either through the website or through the Call Insider app.
Comments are posted by the users of the website anonymously, so it is not possible to ensure their 100% trustworthiness. We, of course, get requests to remove comments on phone numbers stating that they are a tool of competition and they have been fabricated. We, therefore, reserve the right to delete comments or even disable comments for a particular number.
Every user can deactivate any comment until the moderators deal with it. Just click the bin icon in the bottom right corner, fill in a short form and confirm the email address where a statement on how the moderators dealt with the comment will be sent.

Mine was on voicemail so part of message wasn't recorded. It sounds like a machine voice telling me to call back. It mentions a lawsuit and if I dont call back an arrest warrant will be issued in my name. (Doesnt say my name. No details are given only threats) Like a previous poster said my call also came from southport qld. They have no personal details just threats. Beware. Scam. I also got this call some day as the others. 25/1
