How it works

  1. 1Type a 10-digit US phone number and click Look Up.
  2. 2See real FTC Do Not Call complaint data for that number — how often it's been reported, whether it's a robocall, and what the complaints were about.
  3. 3Optionally try a caller-name lookup (official Caller ID / CNAM data), and see what other users have reported about the same number.
  4. 4Sign in to add your own report if you know who it actually was.

Who this is for

An unfamiliar number flashing on your phone is a split-second decision — this exists to turn that guess into a quick look at what's actually been reported.

  • Anyone who just got a call from an unfamiliar number and wants a fast gut check before calling back
  • Older adults or their family members screening for common phone scam patterns
  • Small business owners deciding whether to return a missed call that looks like a robocall
  • People building their own block list based on real complaint patterns
  • Renters or job seekers verifying a number before sharing personal info over the phone

Frequently asked questions

Where does the scam/robocall data come from?

The FTC's public Do Not Call complaint data — a real, official, free government dataset of consumer-reported robocalls and scam calls, updated daily. It's self-reported and unverified, same as any complaint database, but it's real official data, not a guess.

Will this tell me the caller's actual name?

Optionally, via a separate "Try to Find a Caller Name" button using official Caller ID (CNAM) data. It's frequently blank or generic ("Wireless Caller") for mobile numbers specifically — that's a real limitation of the underlying telecom data, not a bug here.

Does this cover 1-800 / toll-free numbers?

The FTC complaint data can cover them if reported. Caller-name lookup cannot — toll-free numbers use a separate national registry that doesn't expose subscriber identity through this kind of lookup.

Why does it only check the last 180 days?

Older complaint data gets less useful over time, since phone numbers get reassigned to new subscribers — a five-year-old complaint may be about someone who no longer has that number. Recency matters more than raw completeness here.

Can I report a number myself?

Yes — sign in and tag any number (scam, robocall, telemarketer, legit business, personal, or unknown) with an optional note. Reports are public and unverified, same as any user-submitted content.

Does this replace a call-blocking app?

No — it's a lookup tool for a number you already have, not a background app that automatically screens incoming calls the way a dedicated blocker does.

What if the number isn't in the FTC data at all?

No complaint history isn't proof a number is safe — it may just mean nobody's reported it yet, especially for newer or lower-volume scam numbers.

Can the caller see that their number was looked up?

No — looking up a number here is completely anonymous to the caller; nothing about your search is visible to them.

Being straight about this: FTC complaint data is self-reported and unverified, and only covers a recent, bounded window per number — a real but incomplete picture, not proof either way. Caller-name lookup is frequently blank for mobile numbers. Community reports aren't independently verified either. This tool tells you what's been reported, not a certified identity.
