Question 1

What is SpamBlockReport?

Accepted Answer

A free public database of phone numbers reported as spam, scam, or robocall. Anyone can look up a number for free, and anyone can submit a report. Data is crowdsourced from users plus monthly imports of the FCC's Consumer Complaints public dataset.

Question 2

Is the lookup actually free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No paywall, no signup required. Lookups are anonymous — we don't track who searched for what. Email signup is opt-in for the weekly area-code digest only.

Question 3

How accurate are the reports?

Accepted Answer

Every report shows its source (user-submitted or FCC public complaint). Risk scores are computed by formula from the underlying reports, not adjusted by hand. A number with no reports is shown as 'unknown' — never 'safe' — because absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Question 4

Can I get a number removed from the database?

Accepted Answer

If you own a number and believe a report is inaccurate, email support@spamblockreport.com. We review disputes and can flag specific reports for exclusion from public display. We do not delete entries — disputed reports stay on file for audit.

Question 5

Why do I keep getting calls from numbers in my own area code?

Accepted Answer

That's 'neighbor spoofing' — robocallers pick fake numbers matching your area code and prefix to make you more likely to answer. The displayed number is rarely the actual source. Blocking individual spoofed numbers does almost nothing; the caller cycles through thousands of fake numbers per campaign.
