FAQ

We group indexable phone numbers by area code, filter to numbers searched in the last 30 days, and rank codes by average community spam score. Only area codes with at least three active listings appear. This reflects CheckThatCall directory activity — not official carrier or government data.

No. Scammers can spoof any area code. A high average score means many reported numbers in that code were tagged negatively by users — always look up the specific number that called you.

Rankings refresh about hourly from live directory data. Search or report a number to help keep community scores current.
