About CallerCheck

Helping UK residents identify unknown callers and stay safe from phone scams.

Our Mission

Making Phone Safety Accessible to Everyone

Every day, millions of UK residents receive unwanted calls from scammers, telemarketers, and fraudsters. These calls are more than an annoyance. Criminals stole Β£1.28 billion through payment fraud in 2025 according to UK Finance, and the distress they cause goes far beyond the money.

CallerCheck was built to fight back. We believe everyone deserves to know who's calling before they answer, and that protecting yourself from phone fraud shouldn't cost a penny.

Our platform, driven by community reports, lets people share their experiences, warn others about scam numbers, and make informed decisions about unknown callers.

Why This Matters

Phone Scams Affect Everyone

Phone scams aren't just an inconvenience. They're a serious threat to people's financial security and emotional wellbeing. Fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated, using technology to spoof caller IDs and impersonate trusted organisations.

The impact goes beyond money. Victims often experience shame, anxiety, and a loss of trust. Many are reluctant to answer the phone at all, potentially missing important calls from doctors, family, and legitimate businesses.

CallerCheck exists to shift the balance of power back to ordinary people. By sharing information, we can make it harder for scammers to operate and easier for everyone to stay safe.
