Scam Catcher

Scam Catcher is a web‑based utility that lets users verify whether a United States phone number is associated with scams, robocalls, or fraudulent activity. By entering any US number, the service consults government data from the Federal Communications Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, providing an instant assessment without requiring registration. The database is refreshed daily, covering a range of scam categories identified for the current year.

The tool is aimed at individuals who receive unexpected calls and want a quick, free way to determine the legitimacy of the caller. It also serves people who need to screen numbers before returning calls or sharing personal information. Because it relies on official sources, the results reflect publicly reported complaints and enforcement actions.

Scam Catcher operates as an experimental project, offering a simple interface that returns a status for the queried number and links to related FAQs, reporting instructions, and guidance on handling flagged calls. No additional software or login is required to use the service.
