ScamRadar - Understanding suspicious phone number results

NOT VERIFIED does not mean safe. ScamRadar cannot currently certify that a phone number is safe. A technically valid number format does not verify the caller’s identity, and caller ID can be spoofed.

Understanding the result

  • NOT VERIFIED: no sufficient evidence of safety or fraud. Do not trust a caller solely because no alert appeared.
  • SUSPICIOUS: warning signals require independent verification. This is not a finding that a number’s owner committed fraud.
  • HIGH RISK: serious warning signals were found. Stop before paying or sharing sensitive details and contact the organization independently.

What to do with a suspicious call or SMS

  1. Hang up if the caller demands immediate payment, banking details, passwords or one-time codes.
  2. Find the institution’s contact number yourself on its official website, not from the caller ID or a message link.
  3. Never install remote access software because a caller asks you to.
  4. If you paid or gave bank details, contact your bank promptly and keep your evidence privately.
