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.

Scam! Ask for paying my electric bill for a company I’m not with... Has called several times. It is then not possible to end the call. Only turning off the router ends the call.

Electric Ireland bill, but I'm not with that company

Not a good number. That is the number I was asked to call to pay my bill but they obviously stopped using company names after the first complaint on this website and I would imagine that they are the ones who said it was on the website. I got a message from a 087 number asking me to call that 1800 number. I don’t know how they got a 1800 number but it is only to make it more believable to give them your bank information. If the Gards were any good they could find out who is paying for the 1800 number and fast but I know they won’t be smart enough to do that first and by the time they get around to it they’ll all be gone. I know that you have to prove that you are Irish and you have a good reason to get a .ie website so a free phone number should be similar
