How long has this service been running and who is it for?
The service was created in 2011 in the Czech Republic. It is an online forum where the users can share their experience with phone numbers, both annoying (mostly telemarketing, surveys) and useful (e.g. couriers, offices)..
Since the beginning, the service has been received very well, which led to localization into more languages. Nowadays, the forum exists in more than 20 languages and 34 countries throughout the world.
The service is intended for anyone who wants to identify the owner of an unknown phone number. The creators of the forum have also recently created the mobile app Call Insider for Android phones. This app, which is connected to the database of the website number-lookup.co.uk, also allows users to automatically block telemarketing numbers.
You pick up the phone and hear, “We've been trying to reach you concerning your vehicle's extended warranty.” It’s a pre-recorded message, and it instructs you to press a certain number or stay on the line.
Police say these scammers are very good at what they do, and they do the research, even sometimes imitating a voice, or they know a family nickname like Pop-pop or Nana.
