Disclaimer.

CallsAlert publishes what people say happened to them. A report is one person's account of one call, written by a member of the public and reviewed by a moderator before it appears.

Nothing on this site is a finding of fact. We do not investigate calls, we cannot confirm that a call took place, and we do not know who was operating a number at the time. A page about a number is a record of what has been reported about it — no more than that.

You will not find a statement anywhere on this site that a number belongs to a scammer, a fraudster or a criminal. We report what people claimed, in their words.

The risk indicator on a number page is a count, not a verdict. It is calculated from how many reports a number has received, how recent they are and which categories they fall into. It is not a prediction, it involves no artificial intelligence, and a high figure means many people reported the number — not that anyone has established wrongdoing.

A number with no reports is not marked as safe. It means nothing has been reported to us, which is not the same thing.

This matters more than anything else on this page.

Spoofing — making a call appear to come from a number that is not yours — is cheap, widespread and often the whole point of a scam call. A large share of the numbers reported to services like this one belong to ordinary people and businesses who never made the call and have no connection to it.

If a number here has reports against it, that may mean the number was used to make those calls. It may equally mean somebody else displayed it while making them.

Telephone numbers are recycled. A number disconnected today can be issued to a new subscriber within months. Reports about a number describe the past, and the person answering it now may have nothing to do with them.

Some reports come from public datasets rather than from a member of the public, and they are labelled as such wherever they appear.

Where those records come from a government complaint database, they are unverified consumer complaints — the authority that published them did not confirm them either, and we do not add anything to them.

CallsAlert is an information service. It is not legal, financial, investigative or security advice, and it is not a substitute for any of them.

Decisions about whether to answer a call, return one, or act on what a caller tells you are yours. Please use your own judgment, and where money or personal data is involved, verify through a channel you chose yourself rather than one a caller gave you.

If you own a number and believe what is published about it is wrong, unfair or out of date, contact us and say so. We will look at the reports in question and remove anything that does not meet our moderation standards.

You do not need a lawyer to ask, and we would rather hear from you early than late. It helps if you tell us the number and roughly when the reports appeared.

See our terms of use for the rules that govern the service, and our privacy policy for what we collect.

The service is provided as-is. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CallsAlert is not liable for loss or damage arising from your use of it, from reliance on anything published on it, or from a decision you made about a call.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing here affects rights you have under the consumer protection law of your own country.
