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.

He knew my name and said I spoke to someone in regards to mortgage payments, he actually called he other day but I didn't answer. Once I said I never spoke to someone he hung up and stopped allowing call back.

Mentioned they had a hold on my property and I contacted them about finance solutions. Told them I don't have a property and they said ... oh ok do you want finance for house or loan. Sounded like a scam so I hung up.
