    Where does the information on telephone numbers come from?

    The distribution of information on scam and spam methods is vital to oppose the leaching of people's purses. To achieve this goal tellows is aggregating a vast bulk of useful information on the caller, including his or her approximate location. The key indicator of a number's trustworthiness is the tellows score which is generated through a complex algorithm fed by your comments and ratings of the respective phone numbers. Hence, the success of this anti-fraud endeavour goes hand in glove with the community's participation. If you have experience on the matter, share it and warn your fellows before the scammers drain their pocket dry.

      BANK FRAUDSTERS email people after they make bank payments, it's suggesting that they work at Standard Bank South Africa, because how else do they access this information? They emailed me after I made an international payment through my local bank, They had partial information of the payment and reference..so they added their own numbers to complete the reference, . DO NOT REPLY TO THEM!!!They ask for your bank details to refund an authenthic payment you made to your bank!! I don't know how they access all this information. It's a cloned Standard Bank email and website. See the details below!!
