Before you report a suspicious call
If a phone number seems suspicious, save the details you have and avoid engaging further. Do not call back, click links, share personal information, or provide payment details because a caller sounded urgent.
- Save the visible phone number if one appeared.
- Note the date, time, caller name shown, voicemail, text message, or requested action.
- If the caller claimed to represent an organization, verify through that organization’s official website, app, or known phone number.
- If you lost money, shared sensitive information, received threats, or believe someone is in danger, use appropriate official, bank, carrier, law-enforcement, or emergency channels for your country.
Report through caller ID, device, or carrier tools
Many phones, carriers, and caller ID apps provide ways to block or report suspicious numbers. Exact labels vary by app version, device, country, and account settings.
Useful official resources
