Hello. Anyone know of a site or tool to lookup phone numbers for free? I'd usually Google a number and I get an idea where it's from, but it sucks searching now.

There's a number that keeps calling me from different extensions and sometimes the phone identifies it as scam, but some calls still get through.
 
I can see this thread either becoming a good resource thread or ripe with abuse.
Watching.
Also they would have to be solar panel install service related, right? Forgot to mention that you can probably punch in the number with quotation marks around it and see if it's a public number and what that number associates with.

If you're looking up numbers to determine if they're scam calls i find that free and paid services dont do much. intelius and spokeo dont return results for lots of the voip numbers.
 
there's too much spoofing for scam lookups to be useful. i report all robot, ad, and scam calls to the FCC website. when i get a hair up my ass, i answer the phone and say "i am reporting you to the FCC and who do i have a call a nigger faggot kike to get off this list?"

also, i have SimpleDialer from f-droid because it has a "block all calls not in my contacts" option which bounces everything to voicemail. i have like 300 contact entries from around town businesses just because of that.

If your caller ID shows the legitimate number they are calling from, looking up the area code and prefix NPA/NXX info should give useful information even if the number is unlisted. It would show which region the number is from and when the prefix was created. You could use a free search like www.area-codes.com to look this up.

There is a problem with his strategy, though:

It is trivial for VOIP callers to spoof their number and most scammers do this. Using a number that looks like a local one is a common strategy for scammers to increase the chances for the target to answer their phone. It even happened with one of my numbers. One time I got a call from someone from my side of town asking me if I was making scam calls from my number. This was someone who I didn't know and never called before he called me.

All you can really do if they are spoofing their source number is report it to the appropriate government agency and hope they do something about it. In the US a scam caller can get hit for $10,000 fine per call if they are doing this.
