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.

Are you experiencing an increase in the number of "local" calls to your home or cell phone? You’re not alone. This phenomenon is called “neighbor spoofing” and it’s a caller ID spoof strategy being used by phone scam artists in an attempt to get people to answer the phone.

I was threatened by the person on the phone. He said he had my address and was coming to my house. He read my address to me. Even though we have moved, he still threatened to find me.

Called asking details about my mortgage. Never heard of them. Hung up pretty quickly when I asked for further details.

Several calls in a few weeks. Claiming to be from Outsource Financial Company in Sydney. Claims his Mortgage Broker ID is #0280912124 This is bogus. Number has incoming call restriction on it.

I have had 3 missed calls from this number but strangely no message! This to me is always a warning sign as everyone I associate with would leave a message particularly if they have had the need to call me 3 times in one day.
I did call the number back but it was switched off?
