    Where does the information on telephone numbers come from?

    Tellows.co.nz accumulates new spam and scam numbers on a daily basis. However, the user is the greatest contributor of new numbers! Therewith, you provide the knowledge necessary to avoid being ripped off. Furthermore, the categorisation and analysis of the callers nature and, above all, your rating of the number will climax in the tellows score which will convey whether the caller is trustworthy or dubious. The greatest advantage lies in sharing all avaiable information on a fraudulent number and, thereby, warning the people of looming dangers before they even lift the receiver.

    1. Nik reported unknown with the number ‎+6498696346 as Telemarketer

      4/9/25, 9:44 PM

      Sounds like a scam. Wouldn’t tell me asked he got my number, just talked over me and continued with the sales spiel. Very rude when I said I wasn’t interested.

    2. Choc reported "Authorised Accor Partner" with the number ‎098866035 as Aggressive advertising

      4/10/25, 11:11 AM

      Claims to be an authorised partner of Accor. They'll offer you a limited-time promotion, being shortlisted among 100 other people. They'll try their best to make you trust them and believe they are accredited. The caller was trying to be honest about them gaining an incentive from you signing up, and that they are calling from India as well.
      The most suspicious part was when they asked me for my 16-digit credit card information to sign up for Accor's $399/year plus membership. They'll say that it is secure and the phone recording will be paused when you state your credit card details.
      They seemed to have information on you as well, previous hotel stays, and your home address.
      Decline the offer and don't let them talk you out of it. They will try to pressure you.
