Search first
Before you reply to an unfamiliar WhatsApp number, check the name or phone number against the case file. A prior sighting is your fastest warning sign.
About This Case File
A community record, not a verdict.
Every entry here is a self-reported sighting — a name, a number, a pattern someone recognized. Search before you trust an unfamiliar WhatsApp contact, and file a report if one reaches you. The more reports on record, the faster the next person spots the pattern.

How The Case File Works
How to spot and report a WhatsApp scammer
02
Recognize the pattern
Scammers reuse scripts — fake job offers, OTP requests, urgent “investment opportunities.” If someone else already flagged the pattern, you'll see it here.
03
File a report
Reached by one that is not on record? Submit the name, number, scam type, and whatever evidence you have. It takes under a minute.
04
Everyone benefits
Every filed report makes the next search more useful. This case file only works because people keep adding to it.
Filing A Good Report
What makes a report useful
- The phone number exactly as it contacted you, country code included
- The name or alias they used, even if it looks fake
- What kind of scam it was — pick the closest match, not a guess
- A short, factual note: what they asked for, links they sent, amount requested
Frequently asked questions
Is the data on this site verified?
No. Every report is self-submitted and unverified. Cross-check independently before treating any entry as fact — see the notice below.
How is a number's country determined?
Automatically, from the number's country calling code at submission time — not self-declared by the reporter.
What should I do if I find a match?
Treat it as a warning sign, not proof. Don't send money, share a verification code, or click a link from that contact, and file your own report if you have new details to add.
What if there's no match for a number?
No match doesn't guarantee the number is safe — it only means no one has reported it yet. Stay cautious with any unfamiliar WhatsApp contact.
