Got charged nearly £50 pounds for one check because I did not see the very small print saying you would commence a monthly subscription (of nearly £50) after the payment of £0.50 for the one check. This is as close to a legal scam as you can get.
Please beware of this company.

It worked fine for me

It worked fine for me. I just entered the number that I received a call from and it identified that telephone number as being connected to fraudulent activity involving the impersonation of utility companies such as electricity providers. I strongly suspect that many of the one star reviews that have been submitted on here are from people that commit fraud themselves and are submitting fake reviews to discredit the website. If you look at many of the reviews many of them do not sound convincing at all. All the badly spelled nonsense about people stealing people's ip addresses and spreading malicious content about them is total garbage. It doesn't even sound convincing. The site is easy to use. All you do is enter the telephone number in the search box and it will tell you whether or not the number has been associated with fraud or not. Can't fault it.

Ignored, misled and defamed: My experience with who-called.co.uk

I stumbled upon defamatory content about me on this website. Despite my efforts to communicate and resolve this issue via email, I was met with sheer indifference. Their lack of response is deeply concerning. Consequently, I've felt compelled to report them to the ICO.

Pretty clear they operate in a murky manner. UK standards necessitate clarity on what's the company behind the service, yet this website for some reason evades such disclosure.

Beyond this, they're blatantly using AI to repetitively generate content, creating an illusion of bustling activity on the site in an attempt to deceive Google.

Approach with extreme caution.

Banned my IP address

Banned my IP address, all I have ever done was submit a number unknown to me to see who called me. If this is how they operate, they wont be around for very long.

Cant turn off website cookies

There is one reason for my 1 star rating. They dont allow you to turn all cookies off on their website. The first time I tried it just kept bringing up the select cookies box every time I clicked on "Confirm my choices" and the second time I could not scroll to the bottom of the pop up box to check all had been turned off.

This website provides a valuable…

This website provides a valuable service for the public to give their experience of the many scam phone calls we all receive. However, I'm disappointed that they allow scam adverts on their site. For example, the so-called plugin energy saving device claiming to save up to 90% on your electricity bill! I cannot see any way to contact the company to report it.

Before responding to such adverts do your research, including looking at Trustpilot reviews.

Doesn't like the use of VPNs!

I used to rely on this site when I received calls from unknown numbers.
Now it doesn't want anything to do with me.
WHY?
It seems to be because I have installed a VPN, via Kaspersky!
The only way I can get round this is to disable my VPN, make the Search, re-enable the VPN!

Good for ID numbers, not for reviews.

It is bad for reviews but good for identifying unknown callers.
Who called me is more trustworthy than this website that's for sure.
But it is unregulated, unchecked, and uses a strange logic algorithm. If you write a number is not a scam then it picks up that the review mentions the word scam in the summary which distorts the truth.
Use it to identify caller, but the other features are unreliable.

This site should be removed Who Called is a dangerous unregulated site. It has malicious untrue comments about my very very good friend. I could not repeat the content. It is a disgrace. DO NOT TRUST the site who-called.co.uk
