800Notes

This site has been very helpful in identifying unknown numbers, they DON'T claim to
Be anything but a place where everyday can report on numbers that called and what
Their experience was.

YES,... THE scammers themselves can post here too,... but it's up to you to strike a
Balance and make the right decision, YOU don't need to be a BRAINIAC to come to a conclusion.

YES... lots of ads... but its a FREE TO USE SITE. I for one would like to see more
These types of "self help" sites.

I visit there often and today I witnessed a scene that only reinforced my reasons for going there. A person came and began complaining about this 2 year old comment and demanded it be removed, because they said it was a revenge post, but refused to give any reason why. Well, after a few people asked questions, this person just starting to make idle threats to file with the Attorney General and file a law suit. The post in question was about a scam, the whole purpose the site is for!

Crazy part is, I see that person made a phony review here about it too, right under mine. They kept posting the same thing over and over, until the people of 800notes deleted them, then they posted more of the same! Some scammers just don't take the hint on when to quit I guess, as they go there to convince us that calls they make to scam us are legitimate calls, but they are discovered as the scammers.

Its just funny to me that I came to post about how 800notes catches people trying to trick us and see that the scammer came to try discrediting them because they got caught.

UPDATE:
I found I was simply misunderstood about what I posted and that I was incorrect in my original assumptions. The site is in fact a good site and it is constantly harassed by a very persistant Troll, looking to cause any disruption for attention.
I am the author of 800NUTS and redesigned it to reflect the truth.

BigA, will accuse posters of lying and "vendettas" They're unhinged trolls and should not be taken seriously.

I began using 800Notes when I worked for a business that was victimized by a scammer who lied to us. We reported it to authorities. When I researched the company on 800Notes I found many other businesses were victimized by the same company. I also posted on the forum about my experience and shared advice given to us by authorities about dealing with the company. There was one poster on 800Notes who obviously worked for the scammer. He harassed me and other posters who reported the company. I've never seen where posts supporting the scammer have been removed. People on 800Notes are permitted to post opposing views as long as they don't become abusive toward/threaten other posters.

I was also victimized by a scammer while job searching and began receiving telemarketing calls instead of job opportunities. Through the years, I've received many calls from scammers such as robocalls calling about timeshares and credit cards I don't own. If I don't recognize a phone number, I look it up on 800Notes before answering and it saves me a big headache.

I love 800 notes! First one of these types of sites I used, & still my go to site to check on telephone numbers, especially telemarketers, debt collectors, scammers, etc. Doesnt force you to put in your info, (like an email, your phone number, etc.) only asks for a first name, (you can use any name) and a description of the call, call type, etc. All info is user submitted, & you can even start a page for a number yourself. They only as for basic info, so its extremely user friendly. Its a well used site, so there is lots of information usually on most numbers. (Like scams, telemarketers, debt collectors, charities, etc.) Ive never seen any type of trolls there, so info is almost always good. While there are many good sites now, 800 notes has been around quite a while & is my favorite, hands down.
I noticed some people talking about badmouthing businesses, & think maybe they are talking about a different site, as Ive never seen anything about businesses. This is simply a site to report scam numbers, telemarketers, etc., not a review site. So Im a bit confused.

Do not use this site, just verify phone numbers yourselves directly with the parties involved. You cannot determine the validity of a number through this site, nor learn any verified and accurate information either. Any verifiable facts you share yourself will be promptly responded to in an extremely hostile way by a group of trolls who continuously monitor the site to harass, insult, brigade, and throw accusations at people without reason rather than helping in any way to add and verify information.

After receiving a call from a number that differed from my bank's usual numbers, I grew suspicious and paranoid about it and decided to double-check if it was legitimate. Before separately calling the institution directly through their normal numbers, I quickly googled the mystery number and grew concerned at the comments about it on this site, where people's experiences were very mixed. However, I did manage to confirm the call's validity with my institution afterwards, so I went back to leave a comment in case it was helpful.

I was immediately harassed and accused of being a scammer by the aforementioned group of trolls, despite already stating in my comment that the institution didn't (and wouldn't ever need to) ask for any personal information, and that they only called from the number to confirm all of the details they already had for my transaction. I also noted that the only way to be safe and to know if the call was legitimate is to call back through a known phone number instead, but these facts were all ignored.

Always verify phone numbers directly with parties involved, don't leave it up to random internet trolls and spammers. All this site does is instill unnecessary confusion and paranoia in people rather than giving out a common sense approach that solves all concerns: Don't respond to random calls and never give out your personal information, nor ever believe random crowdsourced information online. Let it go to voicemail, and if it is of relevance or concern to you, contact the appropriate parties or authorities via known numbers instead. This approach solves problems. Meanwhile, 800Notes only causes problems.

This is a TERRIBLE site! The site's own administrators ATTACK and CRITICIZE posters who are just trying to provide information to help other users.

If you are being bullied by a moderator/administrator on 800Notes please let me know by emailing administrator at scammerblaster.com

I own the website ScammerBlaster.com and we disable dozens of scam sites and over 200 scammer phone numbers every day. In their jealous rage, 800Notes decided it would be cute to try come after me. It was a very bad move, because I disabled certain aspects of their website as a result. They FINALLY stopped the harassment and so I stopped disabling aspects of their site.

The site looks and reads like a pathetic comic book, with a billion ads you get hit with on page load, however, they do a lot of good work in exposing scams and unwanted callers. Correction, AMAZING work. In fact, my team and I heavily rely on 800Notes to find scammer numbers regularly. But you have to take the good with the bad. An admin known as "BigA" is hell-bent on making the experience of posting on 800Notes very bad... for some.

Here's the thing: They make over $60k per year on ad placements on their site. I have the ability to shut down ALL their ads and they will lose all their revenue, and they know I have the power to do it. As such, if you have ANY issues, past the date of this post, please let me know and I will get it resolved quickly. I am only extending this offer because I have been bullied and harassed by 800Notes administrators, and I I have documented hundreds of examples of their horrible behavior spanning over 3 years now, 99% from the asswipe known as "BigA". I have the desire and the ability to bring an end to it, so if you get bullied or harassed by 800Notes admins reach out to me without delay.

There is also Tamianth that trolls behind the scenes in a private forum called 800Auxillary. Its unknown if this Tamianth is also involved with 800Notes administration, but its a good bet. Mostly from 800Auxillary, Tamianth directs this gang of cyberbullys- CelticDragon, BigA, RustyMcNuggets to attack any comments their pinheads happen to come across, and cant understand or happen not to agree with.
Seems its more entertaining now to start a big fight there, day after day, hour after hour, instead of sharing pertinent info with other online sites. Way too many leads are derailed or misdirected from all the aggression coming from a select few. Everyone has an opinion, but does it need to be gang launched at every comment?!? Dont know how many times an ordinary person gets jumped on, because one of the ever present ankle biters gets their panties in a twist. Then it spreads to 800Auxillary where gang voting on their own redundant posts further alienates newcomers. Forbid newcomers, or anyone else ever tell the ankle biters where to shove it, and quickly become relegated to a dog pile on em status.

Exceptionally helpful site.

It has taken a while for me to train myself not to answer the phone when there is an unknown caller on caller i.d. Unfortunately, many calls get through because there is some kind of name posted on the caller i.d. - like the commonly used moniker "Unknown Name."

Many of the calls trigger my voice mail and they then hang up. Many times I am home, view caller i.d., and go right to 800notes.com. The problematic phone number is almost always listed and there are explanations from other people.

No membership is required in order to post info on 800notes. This makes the site highly informative. I post every single time I receive a pesky telemarketing related phone call. The site also lists information about phone-related scams that have circulated or are currently circulating.

What people may not know - companies you have done business with, political campaigns, and nonprofits can legally call you (according to the "do not call" law) and you must specifically say to them "put me on the do not call list."

Also - many people dial the toll-free number back out of curiosity, and since the telemarketer is paying for the call, the law allows them to see your phone number. Expect a lot of calls from them in the future if you do that.

800notes is very helpful with all of this. If you get a telemarketing phone call or an anonymous caller that is actually a telemarketer, either visit 800notes directly or Google the phone number and 800notes is usually the first site to be listed. If you have a few moments to post about the phone call, then I hope you do. It will help other consumers (and actually that is what SiteJabber is all about - consumer advocacy and protection).

I have posted various unwanted calls at 800notes.com, for years. Recently, I have been receiving a rash of unwanted calls - approximately 10 per day - and I've been posting each number religiously at 800notes.com. I was taking my own time to try to help others like myself who really dislike junk/SPAM/phishing/unwanted calls. I never answer the unwanted calls I receive, and usually there is no message left. Never in all of the years of my posts, have I ever had a problem with anyone at 800notes. Next thing I know, as is mentioned over and over here at sitejabber.com, other "regulars" on the 800notes.com site (BigA, MikeHuntleton, and Gunnar) attack me shut off my posts with "post pending moderator approval", and say I'm posting garbage, "you are not reporting anything we didn't already know before you posted", "When a Troll crawls out from beneath a bridge they often become belligerent. No big deal, we know how to deal with them.", etc. Unwanted numbers calling me, approximately 10 per day now, were not listed on 800notes.com - so my posts were in fact reporting something users of 800notes.com did not previously know. How can I report who the caller is, what they said, etc., when I never answer an unwanted call? I now expect I will never post another unwanted call again st 800notes.com, which is exactly what BigA, MikeHuntleton, and Gunnar desire - and users of 800notes.com will not benefit from additional data I would post there. BigA, MikeHuntleton, and Gunnar, and others = they use 800notes.com as their Facebook substitute - and parade around with "big power" there. Adios! I'll do what I can to bury and wash 800notes.com away by posting the unwanted calls I receive in another MUCH less dramatic unwanted call reporting site. ZERO star vote for 800notes.com, thanks to BigA, MikeHuntleton, and Gunnar. Getting a new IP address is no big trick - see you soon?
