What to do after a scam call

  1. Hang up. Don’t call back, press any keys or reply to texts from the number.
  2. Never share codes, card numbers, or your Medicare or Social Security number on a call you didn’t place.
  3. If the caller said they were your bank, a government office or a relative in trouble, call them back on a number you already know, like the one on your card.
  4. If you paid or shared details, call your bank or card company right away, then report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
  5. Block the number. On an iPhone: Recents, the info button, Block Caller. On Android: Recents, touch and hold the call, Block.
  6. Add your number to the National Do Not Call Registry. It stops real telemarketers; scammers ignore it, but reports to it are how numbers end up on pages like these.

How to read a number’s page

Each page counts what people reported about a number, with dates. Reported often means 10 or more reports to the FTC in the last 30 days, or that PhoneShield’s front desk refused a call from it as a scam. Some reports means fewer. No reports found is not an all-clear: scammers switch numbers every day.

Caller ID can be faked, so a reported number may belong to someone who never called anyone. If it’s your number, every page has a “This is my number” button.
