Everything you wanted to ask

GhostCallers is a free UK reverse phone lookup service. You can search any UK number to see reports left by other people, and you can add your own experience anonymously.

Yes — searching and reading reports is free for everyone. We are funded by display advertising and never sell user data.

No. Searching is anonymous and you can submit a report without signing up. We use a salted hash of your IP for rate-limiting only, never linked to identity.

The scam score is a 0–100 community signal. It is calculated from the number, recency, and category of reports submitted by other users. Reports tagged as "scam" or "fraud" push the score up; reports tagged as "legitimate" push it down.

Reports are user-submitted opinions, not facts. We moderate on a best-effort basis, but you should always read several reports and make your own judgement. Do not return calls to numbers you do not recognise on the basis of the score alone.

No personally-identifying data is stored. Your IP is hashed with a salt before storage and only used to prevent duplicate or spammy submissions.

Yes. Use our GDPR Data Removal form and we will action your request within 7 days.

Numbers are listed because they have been searched or reported by other people. This can happen if your number has been spoofed by a scammer, mistyped by another user, or if a previous owner of the number was reported. Use the GDPR Removal form to request removal.

Yes. UK mobiles (07-prefix), landlines, freephone (0800, 0808), business numbers (03/08), and premium-rate (09) numbers are all supported.

Call your bank immediately (use the number on the back of your card), and report it to Action Fraud at 0300 123 2040 or actionfraud.police.uk. Add the calling number to GhostCallers so other people are warned.
