While many people have trained themselves to ignore such calls, they still pose a threat across the US. In fact, scammers stole more than $21 billion from Americans last year, according to the latest IC3 report.\\n\\nThat\u2019s why we created Scam Number Check.\\n\\nNow, instead of risking a call with a scammer, you can look up a number and get a clear answer in seconds.\\n\\n## How to use Scam Number Check\\n\\nWe know scam calls happen every day, and they can cost victims a lot of money. So we designed Scam Number Check to be really simple to use. It’s free, private, and instant.\\n\\nHere\u2019s how:\\n\\n * Go to Malwarebytes’ Scam Number Check and enter the phone number.\\n * If the number looks suspicious, you can choose whether to block or report it. Remember, reporting suspicious numbers helps protect others.\\n\\n\\n\\n## Understanding the results\\n\\nScam Number Check can provide one of three verdicts when you check a phone number. Here\u2019s what each means and how you should proceed:\\n\\n * **Do not trust this number.** Multiple people have flagged this number as a scam. Don’t call back, don’t share personal info, and don’t send money if they ask.\\n * **This number seems safe.** Based on available data, this number has not been associated with suspicious activity. It is our recommendation that you proceed with caution in this case.\\n * **We don\u2019t have enough info.** No information is available in the threat intelligence database. This doesn’t mean it’s safe, so proceed with caution.\\n\\n\\n\\n## Why it matters\\n\\nScammers like to pile on the pressure and create fake urgency so you don’t have time to think. If you don\u2019t recognize a number, let it go to voicemail first. Then check the number with Scam Number Check to see if it’s been linked to scams or suspicious activity. This simple extra step might help you avoid sharing personal information, sending money, or falling for impersonation scams.\\n\\nScams are getting harder to spot every day.
