FTC complaint data and user-submitted spam reports are included in the results. Enough to tell a legitimate caller apart from a scam operation and decide how to handle the call.

1. Enter the full 10-digit number, including the area code. Philadelphia uses 215 and 267, Pittsburgh is 412 and 878, Harrisburg uses 717, and the state has several more.
2. We search public records, government databases, FTC complaint files, and reports from other users.
3. You'll see available owner details and complaint history. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh both rank high for robocall volume nationally, so checking unknown numbers in either metro is a practical habit.
