Tip: Try out our new Call Insider app. You can download it for free on Google Play.
How long has this service been running and who is it for?
The service was created in 2011 in the Czech Republic. It is an online forum where the users can share their experience with phone numbers, both annoying (mostly telemarketing, surveys) and useful (e.g. couriers, offices)..
Since the beginning, the service has been received very well, which led to localization into more languages. Nowadays, the forum exists in more than 20 languages and 34 countries throughout the world.
The service is intended for anyone who wants to identify the owner of an unknown phone number. The creators of the forum have also recently created the mobile app Call Insider for Android phones. This app, which is connected to the database of the website numberlookup.com.au, also allows users to automatically block telemarketing numbers.
Officials say the scammers identify themselves as a member of local law enforcement, even using the names of real detectives, and demand payment in the form of gift cards to avoid being arrested on a warrant.
Police believe organised crime groups are linked to the website which enables users to access software tools to illicitly obtain victims' bank account funds and commit other fraud.

SCAM, hackers! you click on “Hugh Jackman died” link on PC, you’ll have a pop-up to ring “Microsoft “ on this number. It’s a scam, you’ll be asked to pay for “protection” and PC will be repaired. Luckily one ausbank declinedvtransaction but PC needs to be cleaned up reformatted by PC Dr. Take care people.

This is a scammer, they told me they were Netcom IT Services and talked me into giving them remote access and posed as a subsidiary to Microsoft.
