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.

Harassment calls and extortion. Don't answer and don't pay no matter what they do. You pay - they can come back to you everyday for payment. They cannot go to ITC or court as their activities are illegal. They can threaten you with humiliation- but they can still do that after payment

0820060010 - got some sort of report message or something from this number!? Seems encrypted. When you reply and ask what is this, it sends another message much the same with a different ID number?
