    3. unknown has been reported with number ‎092002096 as Telemarketer

      1/23/25, 12:30 PM

      A man with an Indian accent called claiming to be from Yelp (unverified) and said he needed to ask some questions to see if he could offer better solutions for improving our business. As I was busy and didn’t want to share any details with an unknown caller, I asked him to send an email instead. He sounded unhappy and ended the call abruptly. It seemed like a rude telemarketing attempt. Please be careful with such calls.

    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.

      Repeated missed calls (seemingly went straight to answerphone) with no message left, also doesn't allow for return calls.
