800Notes

I have been using 800notes for several years. An excellent gauge to determine if that call you received is in fact a scam, robocall, or other nuisance call. While detailed information is not always available for a particular number, the site is still very useful, since a number that has more than just one or two complaints, is most likely a call you don't want to pick up! In several years of using 800 notes, I have noted only on very rare occasions of bullying and other improper behavior by other users, prompting me to believe that those who are posting these types of negative reviews here are likely associated with the scammers and/or other telemarketers that 800notes is designed to alert us to.

I have used 800 notes and to a lesser extent, whocallsme for several years since I get about 10-15 telemarketing calls PER DAY. I've tried everything - call blockers switching numbers (which was expensive and didn't help) and one of the tools I use to help find out who is harassing me -AND to help spread info- is the 800notes site. Over the past couple years I have found their moderators to be horrible bullies. They make posters feel bad about the posts and cut into many threads and remove posts that - more likely than not - do have some useful information in them. The bully moderators make the posters feel demeaned and by removing posts that they deem "in violation" of their precious rules or TOS, they actually make sure nobody wants to ever post on that site again. If 800notes and whocallsme were ever to disappear, it would be a tremendous win! There are many many other sites on which to post good information.

Created an account, they deleted all the information I posted on the site. They evidently like the fact that debt collectors call people constantly and harass everyone and how scammers steal and harass people as well. 800 notes isn't for the users. They stand with scammers and the devilish debt collectors like Transworld Systems.

Simple! It is just another website where anyone can post about an unknow/unwanted phone call. Users can inform others about a call they received. The issue with people who complain about 800notes are that they are caught posting for their own selfish reasons, such as scammers trying to persuade people their calls are legitimate. There are those who want to tell "stories" of their own personal "adventures" as an inexperienced scambaiter and when caught, they troll the website with many fake posts and target the Community Members, calling them trolls.
The simple fact is these troublemakers are the ones who go to review sites to try discrediting the site when they can't accomplish their goals. No one is forcing them to keep going to 800notes, yet they have such a wealth of "knowledge' about it because they are constantly going to the website and getting thwarted, so they complain about it. Some have even gone as far as spamming the website with thousands of fake posts because they were caught by someone.

I hope everyone who even cares about reviews of a website for phone calls, takes the time to use common sense and use good judgement.

This site is really hurting my business. There are a group of 4 or 5 people (BigA, TygerKat, TheRealseriously, Slim & more) trashing my business that have never actually went to my business or had anything to do with it besides receiving a marketing mailer I sent out. After reading some other reviews it appears these people are actually attacking all companies and they never even received anything from me they just Troll the website. These people have gone so far as to say I was trying to rob their house while they were away visiting my business. It's like a group of children making up crazy conspiracy theories and whenever I try to respectfully reply to anyone my post never gets posted while all these crazy things being said get posted right away. I have sent several emails to this business with no reply.

There needs to be a lawsuit against this company!

The famous government "Do Not Call" list only applies to legitimate businesses; criminal enterprises ignore it and use computers to call millions of phone numbers every year. If you are on the DNC list but continue to get criminal scammer and spam phone calls every week (like me), 800 Notes will be an invaluable tool for researching the numbers that call you. If I don't recognize the number, I do not pick up, as I don't want to advertise that my phone number is "live" and therefore get on a list, incurring yet more phony phone calls. 800 Notes is far and away the best site for researching these spam and scam phone on the internet. The one-star ratings you see on this review list is from spammers and scammers that 800 Notes has exposed and help put out of business.

I use 800Notes to see if a number I do not recognize is a potential scammer, and to report a scammer when I have actually answered their call. I am sure scammers and telemarkers are upset by this service, but we have the right to tell others who they are. I like to label them on my phone, so when they do call, I ignore them. They do tend to be persistent and change their numbers over and over, so it is never ending job to inform people and to help them keep their money in their own pockets.

Use a different website like who-calledme.com and whocalledme.com

The moderators and their lackeys devote themselves to being nasty to people constantly. You can see them as they comb through posts looking for ways they can interject in a nasty way. If you refute something they say, the post will be deleted. It is not likely this site is actually trying to help anyone, and like a lot of other posts online point out, they are likely involved in scamming themselves. They push away people who are posting good things to prevent scams, which could mean they are involved in the scams themselves. Don't waste your time putting up with the loser moderator lackeys. They have no other ambition in life other than to mess with you.

They have trolls that work for debt collectors that have posts removed or they senselessly attack innocent posters with antagonistic and juvenile commentary. They even some how get the posts removed.

The trolls either own the site or they site sold out to the trolls like Tyger cat, Kat or Katz, Mikepembleton, Big A, etc... they ones with avatars.

I stopped contributing to this site, the challenged trolls ruined it. Not worth supporting the low class debt collectors, it defeats the purpose of 800 Notes.

800Notes.com has been the subject of many complaints. Our group's occurred when a member posted a complaint there regarding a company called CallCentric.com. Our poster was at first denied the right to post links, was set upon immediately by 'trusted posters', had our posts deleted and then the admin locked the thread.

Our complaint regarding this company was legitimate and there are questions as to whether 800Notes.com protects some companies and disses others. A FB page has been set up to collect complaints regarding this forum.

The 800Notes lets you check what and who the Scammers are and what they're up to doing. I use their site almost every time I get the scam calls. This allows me to block them and for me to also report them for calling me with PHake offers with their Robo-Calls.

Anyone else saying they're stopping honest' businesses and tarnishing their good reputations, perhaps they need to stop their scams and Robo-Calls. They're the scammers.

I always check this site before accepting or returning any phone calls from out of state and it has so far never been wrong. If only one comment though I do a search on the actual phone number to see what other sites that are not trying to get you to pay for reverse phone number lookup report. This method has served me very well.

I also use on my android smart phone the app "Call Filter" using the free version to screen out all anonymous calls and the telephone numbers in excess of the 100 my phone itself can screen out. Someday I may take the first 100 and add them to call filter, but the combination seems to work fine.

For the very few who get past Call Filter I create a contact and assign to both their number and a special group (just for double protection) a ring tone I made which is merely a 5 second recording of silence. People should have a right to be left alone after all. Rejected callers can leave a message but in practice few do so after the first couple of tries, but leaving that as an option is up to you. Call filter allows you to hang up on all not in your contact list phone numbers or rejected calls if you make that choice, but I would not do that unless you are a true recluse.

Along with other comments, I like this site and believe that it serves it's purpose well and is free. It does not try to redirect you in order to sell you something like a reverse number site. All I want to accomplish is to check out numbers to see if it is legitimate or who is calling. If it is a verified spam caller who has called others and use this site, I block it without answering it and check the box that I received a call too. I find it helpful and post numbers that I receive as well. The DO NOT CALL REGISTRY no longer works so the best defense at this time is to verify spam and block it.

There are a number of "posters" on this site who are belligerent and aggressive to those who post here. Specifically - BigA, Qwerty, MidNYte. Storm, Tamianth, Slim, Gunnar, MJG, etc. are hateful and malicious! They seem to patrol this site on a regular basis to bash people who comment on calls they have received. They use this site as their own particular forum to belittle posters.

Be aware - they will bash you at the slightest provocation. You have been warned.
