We almost fell victim to a very bad scam where someone called pretended to be with the County police and insisted that there was a warrant for an arrest for someone in our house and that we had to follow their instructions very carefully get $1,500 go to Walgreens and purchase what they called three vouchers and then go to the Sheriff's Office. We got all the way to Walgreens when the clerk at Walgreens said "This is a scam. I have seen this before don't buy the vouchers". I then called the Sheriff's Office and they said it was a scam. Had I completed the voucher purchase at Walgreens all that money would have been lost. We almost lost $1,500 so I reported this to 800notes, with the scammers phone number and one of the admins who works at 800notes mercilessly mocked our complaint about this scammer. When I spoke to the police and my bank they told me that the scam is sweeping the nation. 800notes said it was my fault. It's my belief that some employees at 800notes may be complicit in purposely deleting or removing complaints and phone numbers about reported scammers, their Admins mock genuine reports of theft and are in fact protecting scammers rather than providing a trusted database of criminals.

A lot of these 'helpful' who called me sites are actually run by the scam callers.

800Notes is a great example of why crowdsourcing information often simply leads to mass paranoia and misinformation, especially when it's commandeered by trolls who throw around accusations without any effort in verifying the information themselves. After a long period of using this site to quickly look up phone numbers from calls I would receive throughout the day, I decided to contribute to the site when a number finally turned out to be legitimate. This number was verified with the institution involved. In my comment, I noted that I did not have to provide personal information as the institution already had it all on hand (as they should if they are legitimate), and that they called only to confirm that a transaction was not fraudulent. I was immediately accused of being a scammer by trolls who obsessively harass commenters and brigade all numbers constantly. Ironically, the negative comments regarding the number on 800Notes were the only reason I decided to verify the number directly with the institution, who completely contradicted the misinformation on the site, proving that the site is more or less worthless in providing any legitimate and verified information. Just use common sense. If in doubt, verify directly with those involved. Don't rely on a website full of trolls who think they get to decide whether a number is legitimate or not based on nothing while berating anyone who has verified the contrary through the official channels.

The site at some point was useful, that is no longer the case. In effect the website is currently a house for trolls who are also admins. Almost anything you post there will eventually be trolled relentlessly by admins and users. I, when posting there, have been relentlessly trolled by the admins and some of the registered users. There is just plain better places to report phone numbers. Use IC3.gov or FCC and FTC online complaint forms. You can report on white pages and other phone book sites as well.

The Moderators/Trolls send truculent mordant replies to you, cast negative votes on your posting, delete any replies you send back to them. Advice: Avoid the site because BigA & TygerKat reply truculently to everyone.

800notes has several trolls on there including BigA, Resident47, and TygerCat. They all make fun of posters, provide no value to the site, and bully. Quite literally, after the few times I have posted there, I get a mean, nasty or rude comment from them, usually making fun of my posts or explaining that I didn’t post correctly. I thought the site was for the sharing of information, and for the benefit of people to see what number called them - yet 800 notes has proven to be a crappy website with HORRIBLE administrators.

Mods are senseless low IQ / low class troll bullies - to be seen to be believed The moderators like BigA , TygerKat, etc, have a severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder; a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. All are rude and make no sense. Disrespect, anger, hostility, arrogance & aggression is what they live for so you can just imagine what these creeps look like in real life. These bullies attempt to gives away their shame by denigrating you and use this holier-than-thou behavior as a way to feel good about themselves. Challenged goofs. They "Provide No Value" to the site and quash usable information & bully people in an attempt to preserve their inflated egos. One could swear they work for the telemarketers and scammers.

If I could give this website a zero I would. They are a disgrace!!! I comment on a couple of posts they allowed to be published. The post said that phone number 1-877-242-7524 was legit calls coming from the IRS and Massachusetts Dept of Revenue. When I replied commenting that in fact it was a scam To serve as a warning to people, I got an extremely rude comment back from the administrator among other extremely rude things they said, they also said they are not publishing my comments. So bottom line they are shady, inaccurate and above all USELESS!!!!
