It does not prove that the registered owner of the number made the call or text. Community reports describe individual experiences and are not official confirmation of a scam.

Safety score
1 reportHow this score was worked out
Each report rates the number as safe, unknown, suspicious or spam. The score blends those ratings, giving more weight to the more serious ones, and a number with only a few reports is held closer to neutral until more arrive. Feedback votes on reports can also influence it slightly. Scores of 70% and above count as high risk, 40% to 69% as medium, and below 40% as low. More about spam scores
