Latest from our blog



    We've all had to deal with the same thing. Your phone rings 24/7 and shows no sign of stopping, but if ever you should pick up, all you hear is the incessant yabbering of a telemarketer or nothing at all. You're infuriated by the anonymous calls jamming your phone line. Is there some way of finding out who is on the other end? Do you pick up or leave it ringing? Who is calling?
    Sound familiar? There are thousands of people asking the same question every day. In response to this universal problem, tellows functions as an online database of telephone numbers associated with spam and scam activity reported by you, our users. By sharing your experiences with unknown numbers, you'll be providing vital warning information to other users unsure about whether or not to trust a certain caller. The more information is shared, the bigger the database grows and thus the chance of finding out who's at the end of that anonymous call becomes higher and higher. Thanks to the tellows app you can identify unknown callers on your iPhone and Android! Whilst you are at it, take a look at our various other useful tools in our tellows shop today.

    Where does the information on telephone numbers come from?

    Huge amounts of data are entered into tellows sites worldwide each day - further comments on existing numbers as well as entirely new number profiles from first-time searches - all thanks to our users. User contributions are key to tellows' central function: the tellows score. Each time information on a number is given, the information is put through a complex algorithm to generate a trustworthiness rating, on a scale of 1-9. The respective score is clearly displayed at the top of the profile page for each number, making identifying an unknown caller possible in a matter of seconds and saving you not only time, but the frustration of dealing with annoying sales calls.

      1/22/26, 7:39 AM

      FRAUDSTERS most likely from Minnesota. Sounds like an AI generated Robocall message stating I have a tax issue that needs to be resolved immediately and call 707-926-8542.

      SCAMMERS! I don't owe anyone money, and they didn't even have my correct name! They urge you to call them back and even try to scare you with a "Good luck."

      I have been receiving multiple calls a day from unknown numbers offering me a loan. I normally let them go to vm. Today I answered, and call them back at 877 419 6664. I asked to be removed from their list and they immediately hung up. I called again, several times with the same result. Each time they answered with a different loan name. I finally spoke to someone who stayed on the line and claims that he'll remove my number. What to take a bet as to if that happens???
