The figure is how many times it was looked up. Lots of lookups doesn't make a number dangerous, so open its page and check the ratings.
Finding out who called you
- Copy every digit from your recent calls, including +44 or any other country code.
- Look it up in the box at the top of the page.
- Check what kind of number it is, where it's from and what a call back costs.
- Read the ratings from people who had the same call.
- Decide: call back only if you were expecting it. Otherwise, block it.

Who could it have been?
| Could be | Typical signs | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A delivery company | A short call or text about a delivery time or a small charge | Track the parcel through the shop's own website rather than a link in a message. |
| Your bank or card provider | Mentions an odd payment and says you must act immediately | Hang up, then dial 159 or the number on the back of your card. |
| A sales or survey company | A recorded message or a cheerful special offer | Register with the TPS and block the number. |
| Someone you got in touch with | Returning your call about a quote, an appointment or a job | Check the number against the one on the firm's website. |
| A scammer | Pressure, threats, or a request for a code or payment | Hang up, report it, and don't ring back. |

Questions about unknown callers
Who called me just now?
Copy the number from your recent calls and look it up at the top of this page. You'll see the line type, the area or country, what it costs to ring back and any ratings people have left. Further down, this page shows the UK numbers getting the most lookups today.
How do I find out who called from a number?
Search it with its leading 0 or +44. If people have rated it, their reports usually explain what the caller wanted. If nobody has, it shows as unrated, which doesn't mean it's safe.
Does it cost anything to see who called?
No. Searching and reading reports is free and you don't need an account. We show what the number reveals and what other people reported, but we don't keep a list of owners' names.
How up to date is this page?
It refreshes every few minutes. The most-checked list covers the last 24 hours, stretching to seven days on quiet days, and the new reports list works the same way.
A number has been looked up a lot but has no reports. Should I worry?
Not on that alone. Lookups show people are curious, not what they thought. A heavily searched number with no ratings is worth treating carefully, but it isn't proof of anything.
What if I still can't tell who it was?
Let it go. Don't call back on a whim, never share a security code, and if they claimed to be your bank, contact the bank on the number printed on your card.
