Look up US phone numbers with recent community reports. Spot patterns across New York, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and more, and share your experience.
Unfamiliar US number? Here you can review fresh, concise reports from the community and decide how to handle the next call or text. In metropolitan areas like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami or San Francisco, you’ll often see mixed patterns: legitimate callbacks (banks, deliveries, appointments) alongside unwanted robocalls or phishing. Area codes such as 212, 310, 305, 415 and 646 no longer guarantee location due to number portability and VoIP — treat them as context, not proof.
Best practice: call back via the official number listed on the company website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes by phone. If you notice recurring issues, use your device and carrier tools (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T‑Mobile) to block or filter, and add a short factual note here so others benefit from your experience.
Debt collectors calling about an old medical bill. Fair enough, but tone it down.
Persistent calls about overdue payments. Debt collectors won't stop.
Debt collector hounding me over a disputed charge. Annoying follow-ups.
Tried to get personal info. Scam.
Call with total silence on their end.
Nobody said anything during the call
Call with zero sound on the other end.
No sound during call
Threatening legal action if I don't pay. Scam intimidation.
Keeps ringing me multiple times daily, from dawn till 7 or 8 PM. Always the same area code and prefix, but last four digits change every time. Never a voicemail left. If it's legit, leave a damn message already.
Fake charity donation request. Total scam.
Call from financial services about investment options. Seemed straightforward.
Financial service offering refinancing. I have no mortgage. Spam.
Fake scam about health insurance.
Financial service rep offering loans with low interest. Seemed okay but too eager for personal info.
Called about a package delivery issue, but I wasn't expecting anything. Sketchy.
Said they were collecting for charity, but it felt off. Probably a scam.
Pretending to be tech support to fix my computer. Obvious scam, deleted the message.
Another scam call pretending to be from the IRS demanding payment. These people are relentless.
Random other—sounded like a boiler room. Hung up fast.
Don’t return calls via the same unknown number. Instead, call the official number from the company’s site/app and check for in‑app alerts or emails.
No. Number portability and VoIP mean area codes (e.g., 212, 310, 305, 415, 646) are not reliable evidence of where a caller is.
Delivery confirmations, bank callbacks and 2FA codes, plus waves of robocalls, investment schemes, tech‑support impersonation and prize scams.
Keep it short and practical: caller type, purpose, date, and any cues that helped you decide to answer, ignore or block.
