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.

Scam for my bank details

I got a text claiming to be from Bank of Ireland telling me to ring that number as my card was on hold

I forget the name of the business that was mentioned in the call but they were asking for my email address so that they could give me information about "IPOs". I don't do anything stock market-related. I hung up at that point. I only answered as I am hoping for a call about something else and I thought that the caller might be someone else.
