With almost 40k subscribers on Reddit, r/ScamNumbers is one of the most useful online databases for tracking down scam phone numbers. Some use the information for awareness, while others take advantage by prank calling scammers to waste their time.

Whatever the case may be, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards personal phone numbers. We have enforced this rule severely on Reddit and will do the same here.

We also have a Matrix space!

      I was under the impression that (at least in the US) scammers don’t reveal any real phone numbers with Caller-ID. That they just chose random numbers with your area code and similar exchange digits to try and convince you it’sa let local call (like you drs office or whatever you may be waiting on). Is that not true?

        All my scam calls come from numbers in my area code or close by
