About
A free record of who is calling, built in the open
Someone rings, you do not recognise the number, and the honest answer is usually somewhere in public complaint data that nobody has made searchable. ScamCallCheck makes it searchable, keeps it free, and is explicit about what it does not know.
Where the data comes from
Two public government complaint datasets, ingested on weekdays and normalised to one page per number. Nothing here is scraped from other lookup sites.
Alongside that sits the part no dataset contains: first-hand reports from people who actually took the call. Those are kept visibly separate from agency totals, because an opinion and a filed complaint are different things. The full methodology shows the scoring, the moderation rules, and which pages are submitted to search engines.
What this site will not do
These are constraints on the product, not aspirations. They are the reason some obvious features are missing.
It is not a people-search site
A phone number is never resolved to a person's name, address, employer, or relatives. No such lookup exists here and none is planned. If you arrived hoping to identify someone, this is the wrong tool.
A risk score is a screening signal, not a verdict
Caller ID is trivially spoofed. A number with complaints against it may belong to someone who has never made a call in their life. Nothing on this site proves who placed a call.
Commercial relationships never touch the data
No partner can pay to change a risk score, suppress a report, or promote a number page. Nothing you search is sold, and outbound partner links carry no information about the number you looked up.
If a page about a number concerns you, there is a review and removal process with a 72-hour response commitment.
Who runs it
ScamCallCheck is independent and run by one person, not a company or a team. There is no newsroom and no research department. What there is instead is a published methodology, named data sources you can check against the originals, and a stated list of things this site refuses to build.
That seems worth saying plainly, because “a team of industry experts” is what every low-quality site claims and no reader can verify. You can verify everything above.
How it pays for itself
Lookups are free and always will be. There is no paywall, no account, and no charge to file a report. The running costs are covered by a small number of clearly labelled partner links, and advertising may appear alongside them. Every paid link is disclosed where it appears, and a product is only ever shown when a page's own evidence describes a problem it genuinely addresses. Numbers with no relevant reports show no offer at all.
If you want to help
The most useful thing is not money. It is a report. Every number page here is built from public complaint data until somebody who actually took the call adds what happened — and that is the part that helps the next person who searches it.
If a number called you, look it up and add your experience. It takes under a minute and no account is needed.
Corrections and contact
If something here is wrong, the removal and review form reaches a human and is the fastest route to a correction. Data handling is described in the privacy policy, and terms of use are here.
The database currently holds 656,083 numbers and 772,956 agency complaints, last refreshed from the source datasets on September 9, 2026.
