    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.

    Comments on the most frequently searched phone numbers

    1. Bunga76 reported Greenpeace with the number ‎036679574 as Aggressive advertising

      7/1/25, 9:09 PM

      16-year-old son reported being very aggressively harassed to donate to Greenpeace, despite assuring Jenny (the caller) that he had no source of income. Greenpeace had his number from a school project to choose a cause and sign petitions - this has left a sour taste from what was intended as an intro to social justice at school.

      They claimed I owe money. But I have never had services with the company they claimed I had a debt with. I would say this is not a legitimate call
